Keld - Grinton.
Nice evening in Keld Lodge with Anne, where she helped me path up my feet.
In theory this should have been one of the easier days, but due to the temperature getting as high as 28 29, it was anything but easy. I chose the low level route because of the forecast, and both feet aching - mainly the tendonitis in the left foot My book said it should take 11.5 miles to Reeth
and then 1 mile to Grinton, but by the end of the walk I had clocked 13.8 miles.
The part along the Swale with the pennine way on the fell opposite was spectacular. Swaledale is a beautiful part of the country.

The walk was hard due to the heat, so every time I found some shade, I stopped for a rest. I stopped for a nice cuppa and scone in Gunnerside. Half a mile before the yha I stopped for a pint at the bridge inn, and then Anne picked me up , drove me up the hill to the yha,where I checked in , and then she drove us to middleham where Erica and the kids were staying at an airbnb, and then we then went for a nice pub meal all together. By the ebd of today, the 'wobble' I was experiencing was completely gone, largely due to seeing Anne, Erica and the kids.
13.8 Miles. 6 Hours 53 Mins. 1319ft Ascent.
