ed until we were on the bus home. I didn't take many photos today but if you click on this link you can see many more.A fairly short walk today and because of the lack of sunshine the views of the reservoirs and Hannah Hauxwell's house were not particularly inspiring, The beautiful meadows of wild flowers that surround her house were long gone unfortunately but we were rewarded with the first heather of the season on Bowes Moor.
We stopped for a lunch break in the shelter of the wall at Baldersdale and this spot marked the half way point of the Pennine Way....only 128 miles to go!!
Its amazing how the weather affects the mood of the group and although it wasn't raining very hard and it wasn't particularly cold the mood was rather low key today and it didn't really improve until we reached the end of the walk and the cafe at Middleton in Teesdale that was just about to close until we all trooped in and took over!
So not as picturesque as Swaledale but we have reached the river Tees and are looking forward to a riverside walk with plenty of waterfalls to come.
