Day Five - mountain high, valley low

17 Jul 2016

|

Patterdale to Bampton Grange 14 miles

Today's weather: sunny

A lovely day for our final high level farewell to the Lake District. Unfortunately we're starting to smell as Daddy's sardines have leaked onto our things. Luckily Daddy came prepared for anything!

 We reached the highest point of the whole journey ( 2,560 ft) though there's still plenty more hills to come.

 We came back down to a flooded valley and a long hike back to our bed for the night.

 

We go into Yorkshire tomorrow so Daddy's getting our passports ready.

 

Licks and wags
