A Good Sign
Today me and Ant trekked from Horton-in-Ribblesdale, along the Pennine Way to just after it meets the Dales Way (approx 7 miles each way, so a good 14 mile training session).
It was, however, increasingly obvious that by the time we reach our starting point today, we will have walked around 20-25 miles already, including the climb up and down Pen-Y-Ghent. This was an extremely sobering thought, as we passed the warm and enticing pub at the start.
To cut a long story short, it was a pleasant walk (despite the long and sometimes painful uphill drags). Lots of great scenery and the views of the Yorkshire Three Peaks were spectacular. We didn't get lost once, which was a good sign - this either means that the route was extremely easy to follow, or our map reading skills are improving (my money is on the easier route and regular signposts).
There were also plenty of sheep who seemed completely dumbfounded by the mere sight of our new walking hats.
