England - Tan Hill



Great walk today. This is the strongest that I've felt since starting the trip although I was still tired and sore. Lots of up and down. We saw some Swaledale sheep and walked through Wensleydale but didn't try the cheese.

Rich and I broke away from Brian and Gerry for the first time. They wanted to rest three miles from our destination, but Rich and I felt we should push on ... since we were so close and it was getting late.

We arrived at Tan Hill Inn. What a wonderful place with lots of character. It's the highest inn/pub in England. We ate Swaledale sheep ... in fact we watched the inn keeper rustle one up a few hours earlier ... I can only assume that's the one we ate. Signed the Pennine Way Walkers Registry and had lots of brew and chatted with the other drunks, a mean guests, staying at the inn that night.
