Day 14, Danby Wiske

There was a 1969 movie titled "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium." Well, today is Tuesday, and we must be in Danby Wiske. It was a long 12.5-mile slog through Big Ag (agriculture), bright sun and temperatures in the high 70s. Great weather for England unless you are walking in a flat, featureless area with no shade. It was a tough day. There were compensations at the end of the day. We arrived in Danby Wiske at 3:00 pm to find the pub did not open until 4, but the local campground had a little shed store (honor system) with all sorts of goodies. We each had a little cup of ice cream; Therese had strawberry, and I had orange sorbet—it was great!

Danby Wiske is surrounded by dairy farms and feedlots and smells like cow shit and urine. It is so bad that you start to think you smell like cow shit and urine. The sign for The White Swan, the pub where we stayed and had dinner, says there are 60 miles to Robin Hood Bay, the ending point for the Coast to Coast walk. I cannot help but feel some relief from that, but I know I will also feel some regret when we are done.

Last night's dinner was excellent—a vegetable curry with coconut sauce! We slept well, and now we need to get ready for today's walk. Hopefully, the images will upload despite the poor internet here at the White Swan.
