We are half way through our trek now so I will summarize our distances to here.
St Bees to Ennerdale 23 km
to Rosthwaite 23+_ km
to Patterdale 29+ km
to Shap 26 km
to Kirkby Stephen 34 km
to Keld 21+ km
to Reeth 18+ km
The + means that we took a higher and usually longer route.
Today's walk was lengthened by missing a turn and walking from the high route down into the valley. Actually it turned out to be most interesting because the scenery and animals were more interesting down low. We saw lots of young lambs including one that could yet stand up. But most impressive were the rabbits. Sometimes we would disturb them as a group and would see dozens of them scampering for safety in their burrows. We also saw lots of ruins as left by the abandonment of lead mines.
