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.
