Short 3 hour walk today through paddocks, past loud scary pig sheds, farmers baling hay, crossing the busy London-Edinburgh railway & busy highways before arriving at Ingleby Cross by midday!
We were staying at The Blue Bell Hotel which had a very friendly bartender. Room was prety plain but it did the job! When dinner-time arrived we walked in the pub & there was a family of women running dinner. They didn't say much so we just went to a table until they spoke up asking if we'd booked. Yep, went to our table then waiting 10-15 minutes for someone to serve us (we were the only ones in the pub mind you!). Being served involved the teenage daugter coming over with a chalkboard menu with 4 options & she waited for us to choose, all without saying a word! I've got a feeling they just couldn't understand my accent but maybe that's just looking for a nice reason. The food was fine and I'm sure they were just starting out, so still worth a visit for the cheery bartender at least!
Saw the Belgians for the last time, they even bought us a pint as a goodbye present! Not that I believed them at first haha. I thought they were trying to trick me into asking for my free beer but no, turns out they actually did buy me one! great blokes.
