Having had a few days at home and managing a short (about 6 miles) walk at the weekend just to keep themselves in the mood, the team set out yesterday to walk from Keld to Reeth in heavy rain and mist.
Keld is an ancient Scandinavian settlement above the Swale, it's name meaning 'a place by the river' which Wainwright describes as a 'friendly refuge in an unfriendly landscape' (of moorland). The route to Reeth runs through some of the old lead mining workings - Wainwright says 'no scenes of beauty are promised and none will be seen' which explains why the photos were scarce in last night's report what with that endorsement and the weather!
There is always time for a quick shot of Fergus though, looking very cheeky here (if a bit wet) and 'full of beans' Aunty Debbie reports.
