Left at just after 8.15, not sorry to see the back of the Buck but it was a lovely morning so soon forgot about it. Walked along by the river, some fabulous views back of Richmond and the castle. Paths were quite overgrown, lots of nettles and thistles and loads more stiles. Then some walking on small, very quiet roads, lots of cyclists about going really fast. Looking forward to a scone and cup of tea at Bolton Swale only to find the tea shop had closed down! Had to go on to Danby Wiske, got there at one so had a drink and sandwich at the White Swan and a piece of delicious fruit cake. The afternoon was more of the same sort of walking probably a bit less on roads, everywhere looked beautiful and lush. Fairly flat walking today so we made good time but getting tired in the afternoon, hard to climb over the stiles. Had to cross the A19 which was very busy, fast and terrifying. Arrived at Ingleby Cross at 5.15 which was fantastic. 23 miles.
