Day 6 Swale Way

Today was hard, we walked 12 miles from Richmond to Reeth. We usually average 2 miles an hour including regular breaks, today a lot of it was about q mile sn hour as the terrain was do difficult.

We had very narrow paths with nettles on one side and a very steep drop on the other, slippy stony pstgs, deep gorges to climb in and out of, thick heather or bracken to walk through.

Luckily there were dome amazing views along the way…

Hopefully tomorrow’s walk will be easier, still 12 miles but better terrain

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!

    I do hope today is easier! Those views are spectacular, but uff, the thought of going up and down gorges…not for the faint of heart.
