Although We All Speak English . . .

Day 13: Richmond to Danby Wiske (flat, easy walking)

As most of our fellow walkers (and all of our hosts) are English, we are getting a great lesson in the distinct differences in terminology between English and English:

You see: 

• While a fry is a chip;
• a chip is a crisp.

And

• While a cookie is a biscuit (and it's crisp);
• a biscuit is a scone (and not crispy at all).

And

• While hunting is shooting (unless, of course it's fox hunting);
• shooting may include pigeons (but they are never clay).

And

• Quite importantly to anyone from the good old USA, while a walk is a stroll;
• The C2C is not a stroll.  It is a hike, which is a walk (be fair warned of the Lake District).

     Short walk today (Richmond to Dansby Wiske), 15.8 flat miles.  We talked late into the evening with fellow hikers (walkers); therefore, short blog.  The photos below are of flowers and grains from English gardens and fields we passed or passed through on the day's walk.  Enjoy!
