Oaktree Hill

The rain stopped and we filled a rainbow for the last kilometer of the day

Only 60 mikes to go over the next 4 days

Hmm

Two thirds the way to our night spot

Views across farmland to Cleverland Hills

Walking over the fields

After lunch we crossed more farmland then for many kilometers we walked along a minor country road. There were very few cars. The country opened up and we had some lovely views to the Cleverland Hills in the distance. the rain came down as we got to Danby Wiske, but soon cleared.

The last few kilometers was a real trudge across very muddy fields from Danby Wiske to Oaktree Hill and then finally up the hill to Lovesome Hill Farm. Unfortunately we got a very ordinary room overlooking the car park and not the lovely fields

Bolton-on-Swale lunch spot

We stopped near this church for lunch and the boys went haring off on the wrong track and got lost.
