We get off to our earliest start ever - 8:20am. Why? Because we need to walk 25km to a camp ground that we are told closes at 5:00pm. Another day in rain. Well, lets be honest. Not so much rain as drizzle; heavy drizzle though. In Richmond Fiona purchased a product to waterproof her boots, and it is having no affect at all. We climb up into a set of low hills in the mist, then set out across heather clad moors.
It's lovely, but damn damp.
Apparently if it was clear we would be able to see the North Sea, but all that we can see is a sea of heather.
Fact for the day - As a result of freak atmopsheric conditions, the North Yorkshire moors are one of the few place in the world where you can see the curviture of the earth.
We camp for the night at Lord Stones Camp Ground, and cook for ourselves on our camp stove. As a result of another day in soaking boots, Fiona is very cold, so crawls into bed at 6:00pm and refuses to get out of her sleeping bag until after 7:45am.
Distance walked today: 25km
