29May2015 - The Cambridge House B&B provided the best breakfast yet for the trip so we weren't on the C2C until 9:30. Made a wrong turn leaving town so put in about another half mile. The rest of the day we basically followed the River Seale to the West until we reached Mucker. After a brief stop at the Swaledale Woolens shop (it hasn't changed since we visited it 19 years ago) we turned off the C2C route and took the Penine Way trail up to the Kearton Country Hotel in Thwaite. By taking the 'river route' we avoided the high ground with the high wind and rain. We did get some rain but less wind and the chance to have lunch at the tea shop in Gunnerside. This route made our 11 mile day a 14 mile day but it was worth it. We arrived in Thwaite at 17:30 so had time to clean up, and warm up, before dinner.
Today we crossed the halfway point of our 192 mile trek.
