6th September - Europe Diary

7 hour day to Keld.  Got a full veggie breakfast & Laura decided to eat all of hers and some of mine (specifically the veggie sausage).  Well for the first hour or two she regreted it while her stomach was in pain.

This was the first day we put our gaitors on, it was DANG BOGGY!  The author of our book described the bogs as 'reminiscent of the Somme during WW1' and he was not wrong!  Managed to keep relatively dry and had fun dodging knee-deep bogs!  Couldn't imagine having to do it in bad weather...

Julie slipped over once and I managed to rack up some pretty impressive chafing while Laura's toe blisters were not getting much better.

After arriving at Keld we had a pint with a few others walkers at Keld Lodge before having dinner round a small friendly table at our accommodation 'The Butt House'

Despite the name, they couldn't do much for my chafing.
