Shortly after 100 days of virtual walking, 600 miles. When I first planned this hike I imagined that I’d be on the final stages after that distance – instead, I’m somewhere near Thwaite, still on the northern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. You can find the full map here. Serves me right for going the pretty way. At least I can think about opening another celebration bottle. And it has stopped raining.
