After we left or lovely guesthouse (on the right in the first picture below) and had a delicious breakfast at The George, it took us awhile to find the trail out of Orton. I wish there were better Coast to Coast markings in the towns where you stay. 
The walk was a day of good news/ bad news. The good news is that we did have the wind at our back for a fair share of the trek, which was a first, AND it was a short day. The bad news was that the temperature dropped and it began raining after our halfway point. We were headed to Shap which was a bit more industrial with a quarry and having to cross a highway luckily on a footpath. 
We arrived at our B and B too early so we went to the Greyhound Hotel to have some Lunch/dinner so we wouldn't have to venture out in the rain again after getting changed. The food was wonderful and they had a lovely coal fire. Cheers!
