About Me

My photo
Hello, let me introduce myself a bit...I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a retired labor and delivery room nurse of 38 years. Since retiring, my days have become mostly calm and unstructured. My Fluid Days blog is part of that life, though not updated at this time. My Hadrian's Wall Blog is the journal of our 100 mile walk across England in 2009 and again in 2010. My Dales Way Journal is about another long-distance hike we did in September of 2014. Russ, my husband and best friend for 46 years is my walking companion. He keeps me laughing and makes every day a joy.

Sept. 20 Day 7

Sedbergh to Patton Bridge--14 miles

Well, there was nothing too exciting or memorable about this day, just many miles of beautiful country-side and plenty of time to reflect. Tomorrow will be an extra day of no walking so we can relax and enjoy a rest.

George Fox (founder of the Quakers) preached his famous 1652 sermon to a thousand followers on the hillside here. Still known as Fox's Pulpit.

Finally arrived at our destination, weary with tired feet and legs. Crook Howe B.&B was in a lovely setting and would prove to be a great place to spend an extra day to rest.
