Day 3
The Yorkshire Dales
11.09.2006
I was relieved to get away from the Braida Garth Farm. By this time on the expedition my thoughts of Yorkshire were very negative, what with the rain, the endless and boring hills, the orange water at camp and everything being wet. Thankfully, after only 3 hours of walking and a small amount of rain, a gap formed in the clouds and we saw the sun and blue sky. The sun really lifted our spirits as we continued to ascend Whernside, the tallest hill in Yorkshire.
Finally, we reached the top of Whernside in time for lunch and for once we could "enjoy" the view, although i can't say the views in Yorkshire are particuarly "breathtaking".
The rest of the day was spent walking downhill, much to the dislike of Caroline and i. Our "brain" feet were really struggling, but none the less we made it to camp 3, in the village of Dent.
It was a really nice sunny evening and despite the assesor hanging around we had a good time, especially when the dog at the campsite kept chasing Ross and wouldn't let him go up to the toilets. Its a shame we couldn't get it on camera because it was dark, but it was hilarious to watch.
