Day Two: Walking round Wet Skeddale

Looking over the resevoir at Wet Skeddale
Not a long walk, probably about 5 miles, but very up and down and a bit boggy underfoot where the path is unmarked. We had to ford a river using stepping stones - not nice flat ones and not in a straight line.  Peter fell in!  Much unfolding of the map and scratching of heads in one or two places, but we could almost always see the reservoir and our car parked on the other side.  A great comfort!   We enjoyed our picnic and the weather was perfect. 

Came back to Curlew Cottage and sat and dozed in the summer house and read and finished off the day with supper at the Queen's Head.
