Day 14 Garrigill to Greenhead

Today has been on a par with Day 4 which was miserable. We have both
had wet feet since we set off and continued with them for 20 miles.
The weather was also grim, very cold and wet. The terrain was very
hard going with the second half of the day pretty much in bog. There
has been broken stiles, barb wire in front of stiles, lots of cows,
bulls and horses to contend with and the A69 to cross, which is like a
motorway, very scary. We managed till mid afternoon to keep spirits
high, I was singing show tunes and hymns to keep myself going,
however, by 5pm, I was not very happy, and will admit, had a few
tears. It is a day like today I wonder why I am doing this. We have
managed 200 miles up to this point and have 4 days left. 68 miles to
go, however the walking seems to be getting tougher. Please can
tomorrow be nice and dry. Day 14 complete.

Setting off from Garrigill before the going got really tough.

The most exciting thing we saw all afternoon!
