It’s funny how a day can start one way and finish completely differently. We started out from the Twice Brewed Inn with the mist covering […]
Day 15 – Greenhead – Once/Twice Brewed
A rest day, just shy of eight miles. Twenty years ago, we stayed at the Youth Hostel (then called Once Brewed), and we didn’t go […]
Day 14 – Alston – Greenhead

Day 12 – Middleton in Teesdale – Dufton
Today was going to be a challenge, we knew that. We’ve both walked the same, and more, distance before without too much trouble. But certainly […]
Day 11 – Bowes – Middleton in Teesdale

Our first day of rain. Also the day on which I learnt I needed to reproof my boots. In the B&B over breakfast there was […]
