Absolute scorcher of a day in the sun for our walk to Reeth. Was a pretty cruisy 6 hours following the low valley route through 3-4 tiny hamlets. Sweat our faces off on the walk from Gunnerside up to Blades.
Arrived at Reeth & had some ice-cream :)
Our accommodation is at a place called The Temperance Hotel, which is a small B&B above a christian bookstore. They are very nice people here but I was a little afraid we weren't going to get to go to our room without a half hour chat first. Our room was decorated straight out of whatever decade loved pink. Pink walls with pink floral quilt covers and a writing/beauty desk which must be from the 50's or earlier. Took a picture for proof. Took two. Of particular note was the ornate wooden chair that was apparently built by the shop-owners father. I'd decided that I would not sit on that chair for fear of breaking a family heirloom!
We went to The Kings Arms Hotel for dinner. Julie had investigated the price of meals at every pub in the whole town, and this won for being the cheapest. They did not skimp on the food, Julie smashed the biggest Yorkshire Pudding I've ever seen for dinner.
Lots of talk on the news about Syrian refugees entering the EU to escape I.S.
