Pennine Way 2024 - Day 11: Middleton-in-Teesdale Rest Day
Distance: 0.6 miles Total: 164.12 Steps: 1,312
-------------------------
A bit of housekeeping, washing socks etc, a trip to the Co-op for supplies, and a successful search for somewhere to print off some more crosswords.. amazingly, I am still keeping them up to date. No library in Middleton, the Tourist agency is closed, but the Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Goup were very helpful.
It has been raining all afternoon and evening, and the weather for the next few days is looking very iffy indeed, with thunderstorms a possibility. Not sure if Cross Fell is the best place to be in such circumstances. At 893m (2930ft) it is the highest point in England, outside the Lake District. All I can do is keep an eye on things.. tomorrow should be OK, though walking down to Dufton is looking more sensible now than camping at High Cup Nick. After that, we shall have to see.
The Teesdale Hotel is a very comfortable place to stay. Recommended.
You are doing well to blog on the hoof, especially including photos. It's usually not easy and also time consuming when you have all the other chores to attend to.
