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!
