Reeth to Catterick Bridge ( 16.5 miles )
Hello fellow bloggers! Today's plan was quite an easy day however tomorrow is very hard. The walk from Richmond to Inglby Cross is 23 miles, knowing this we split the day so when we reached Richmond we proceeded on to Catterick Bridge , which is a further 5 miles, making tomorrow a lot easier (I hope).

We walked out of Reeth and down the road until we reached Marske and the were some curious spectators looking over a wall onto the path....

We then walked through lots of pretty green pastures and wheat fields.

... until we hit the road and saw a sign...
But no time to stop as we had a long way to go.
On the way we passed some loyal fans of Pads and they had even named a bridge after him! He was just bothered about the cool beck below...

We crossed some more rolling fields and then there was a quick uphill clamber to the road. Then we followed a long down hill road into Richmond were we stopped for food and a well earned rest.

Next we had the long walk to Catterick Bridge. We followed the beautiful Swale down and around and pretty much through lots of fields to Catterick. We then got a taxi back to Richmond and enjoyed a nice hot bath!
Ingleby Cross here I come!

ReplyDeleteExcellent news. I particularly like the picture of Paddy looking at his bridge - good to see the correct use of an apostrophe :)
