Day 10 - Reeth to Richmond

Not much to say about today apart from it was a very nice 10.5 mile walk. There was 1100 feet of ascent most of which was in two main stages. One on leaving the old Priory just before Marrick. The other up to the white cairn underneath Applegarth Scar.

We set off from Reeth at around 8:45am with the aim of reaching Richmond by 1:00pm. If all went well the second objective was to push on to Bolton-on-Swale during the afternoon. The thought of pushing on was to reduce day 11 by 6.5 miles.

Weather wise, it was raining as we set off from Reeth becoming warm and humid as we progressed through the meadows of Swaledale.


After stopping for a bite to eat just short of Richmond. We set off again only to see Nicky start to limp. Her right hamstring and calf muscle were becoming painful. This put an end to the second objective of the day.
