4th September - Europe Diary

Breakfast was delightful, Margaret once again outdid herself before seeing us out.  We set off out the back of her garded & ended up having to find a footbridge to cross the M6 Highway.

Once that was done we set off walking on what ended up being a very nice flat rolling track.  It took us around 6 hours all up to arrive at our accommodation in Newbiggin-On-Lune.  We met John on the track again, this time with his son Robert who works in Cumbria.  Cris (John's partner) had taken another day off walking to rest the legs & blisters!

We spent the whole day walking with them which was great.  Turns out John is the MD of a ASX listed company.  Also turned out that a lens cap I picked up 4 days ago was his!

We split with them when our town came up and arrived at Brownber Hall which is a huge stone farmhouse on a few acres of land.  Another amazing place to stay!  Upon arrival we were told they'd already booked us in for dinner and offered a beer on the house to let us fully relax!  They'd also booked us in the front room with a great view across the paddock.  I reckon tonight we be a night of reading, dining & sleeping in!
