Sorry for the lack of updates, we have been in some very remote areas and have had no service at all. Day 13 was a biggie, just under 3500 feet of ascent over 17 miles. We completed 4 summits, some of which you can see on the pictures. Cross Fell being the biggest. The path off the tops was a 7 mile stony track, it felt like it was going on forever. The sun was out which made the view fabulous, but did make the climbs that bit more difficult. We got to Garrigill and got the tent up, behind the village hall. Met the support crew who had come up to resupply and brought with them the best present, a midgie net for your head, (Thanks Si) and my word did we need them that evening. Day 13 complete.
