An easier days walk and we were able to take our time, looking in shops at Reeth before departing. At breakfast at Cambridge House Guest House we met Michael and Sarah, who are from Montana and doing the walk in 18 days with 1 rest day. Michael is 79, good effort.
We called in to Elaine's Country Kitchen for Tea and Scones where we met up with Michael and Sarah again. We had our packed lunch in the Whitecliffe Wood, before walking in to Richmond, where we stayed at The Old Brewery Guesthouse, Sherpa's headquarters on the Coast to Coast.

At Elaine's Couhtry Kitchen we stopped for tea and scones and here met up again with Michael and Sarah. From here on we met intermittently on the path and arrived at Richmond at the same time.
