Miles: 19.4
Total miles: 52.6
Picture the scene: you are wading through an endless bog, hopping from dry bit to dry bit and trying to avoid the worst bits. You have been doing this for miles and the bog still extends as far ahead as you can see. it has rained steadily all day and everything you possess including your socks etc are soaking..
Well, that was today, for the most part. Still, I got to Bellingham and to be honest, I think today and tomorrow's stages are the worst of the whole Pennine way so I don't feel too bothered. My clothing clothing dries easily and I expect to be in good working order tomorrow for the walk down to Hadrian's Wall.
It is 15 miles to Bellingham, the remaining time was spent wandering around trying to find accommodation and a meal. Now I am booked into a campsite a mile out of town and a very nice place it is.
The photo gallery is again a bit thin, hard to take photos in pouring rain:

| Six miles of this to start with.. I didn't photograph the ten miles of bog! |

| A fairy ring. These pine plantations have a lot of fungi along their edges. |
