Claybank to Glaisdale (18 miles)
Hello fellow blogees and blogetts!
As my title explains we had 18 moor miles to walk! (a) We actully did have 18 miles to walk ( 18.2 to be precice ) (b) We had to walk this over vast streching moorland ( get it? moor land? ha ha!.
Today was the penultimate day of the journey, so we thought we would make the most of our last full day of the last day of the hols. We set off up the hill ( Round hill ) leaving Claybank behind us. Happily we proceeded up until we reached the main height of the day.

Then we joined onto an old Rosedale Ironstone railway track that led us around and over a hill, and down to the White Lion pub in Blakely. By this time it had started to rain, so thankfully we went inside and enjoyed a nice hot meal.
After our stop we joined the main road and went across moorland ( AGAIN! ) until we dropped into Glaisedale and the village. Yet again another typical English August day! Nice breeze, Strong breeze, Drizzling rain and Heavy breeze, rain, wind, and some more wind!

Well done people! Don't worry folks, the weather is not much better back in Pittington! I suppose all these handy 'pub stops' have been cunningly arranged by Sherpa Dad?! Are there not enough farm shops/tea rooms about?
