As you will have guessed I am now home and catching up with the blog over the next day or so. Thanks to Emma for posting a temporary message when I couldn't get a mobile phone signal in Swaledale to report in.

Day 3 began at Willow Farm Longton, lovely weather again, just right for walking. All went as planned through Preston to Fulwood Barracks where I was given tea and biscuits and a cheque. This time I met a group of medics and no, I didn't need them - but I did learn more of the history of the barracks which was very interesting before setting off again.

Emma and Izzy had met me at Fulwood, in fact they walked the last mile with me, at least Emma walked, Izzy was pushed in the pram. She may be a very advanced baby but even she can't walk at 16 weeks!!! She has however been asked to leave her first pub.... we arranged to meet further up the A6 for a sandwich and a coffee and by the time I caught up with them, Peter, Emma and baby had had to relocate to a different venue as Izzy was asked to leave the pub where we had agreed to meet.What will her father say when he finds out that we tried to take her in her first pub!!!

After lunch I continued up the A6 to the meeting point and then Peter drove me up to Swaledale where I discovered that neither of us had any mobile signal, hence the reason for Emma's post. Tim arrived later with details for the next three days.... has he forgotten how old I am ....phew!! Feet not too bad, a few blisters but nothing I can't cope with and I wouldn't like you to think I was having it too easy. More later when I have downloaded some more photos. Thanks for the message Karen, I did get it.
