Three of us walked today. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that we blew along today. Big winds swirled and banged around us all day. Again we were in open moorlands. At one point, as we marched along bundled in multiple layers against the cold winds we passed two walkers in just long-sleeved t-shirts and running shorts! How do they do that?
It was a long walking day. All afternoon we had glimpses of the Dent Viaduct, but it wasn't until 6:00 that we actually walked under it. Toward the end of the afternoon we crouched behind a stone wall to take a break. Our companion, Judi, stuffed her sweatshirt into some of the openings in the wall to try to block the winds that still managed to stream through. As we sat munching snacks with stiff, cold fingers she said, “You two sure know how to have a good time!” We all laughed and laughed. It became one of the theme-statements of the trip.
