C2C Day 6 - July 19 - Shap to Kirkby Stephen - 21 miles
What a long day! We figured a 21 mile walk would be pretty straightforward. Wrong again! Although not as hilly, it was definitely an endurance test. Rain poured down on us a couple of times through the moorlands. The landscape is very different although just as beautiful. After leaving at 9:30 am and stopping for lunch in the beautiful village of Orton, we arrived at the Old Coach House BB at 7pm - dog tired. Thanks to our wonderful hosts, Derek and Betty Rome, we have been able to quickly update you. Hopefully, by tonight we will have reached the half-way point.

Hi guys. Well done so far! Hope the weather picks up for you during week 2, otherwise your Canadian and US friends may be left with the impression that it rains a lot here in the UK!

Peter and Francine day six sounded really tough. Keep going almost half way. Have a few Stellas and that will fix anything. Looking forward to your next report.
