Day 8, Horton to Hawes

Great day in the Dales. But it would have been good to see it.

Almost the entire 22km there was grey. Visibility dropping with the clouds to a damp claggy day

Sign posts and cairns became the focus. But the tracks were easy and it wasn’t cold. It didn’t actually rain, just wet walking through cloud.

Bit of colour respite on the nature reserve of Long Gill

Then the early warning signs of sun as a sky lark wheeled up and there was a valley. Well on the way to Hawes on the Cam High Road.

Down off the moors into wild flower meadows and views of Great Shunner Fell, tomorrow’s adventure

Tea and Yorkshire parkin as a reward
