Out of Our Boots

Day Eight: Rest Day in Hawes (Yorkshire): 0 miles

Ah, the indulgences of a rest day:

• Sleeping in
• Drinking as much coffee as we like at breakfast 
• Wearing only approach shoes
• Staying out of the rain, wind and cold
• Sitting down to eat lunch
• Having a snack that isn't an energy bar
• Washing our socks
• Access to good wifi
• Watching a silly British game show on the BBC
• Afternoon tea
• Enjoying the local sights . . .
• Macaroni and CHEESE (what else) for lunch at Wensleydale Creamery  
• Picking two new handmade dog leads at the ropemakers (coolest trade) in Hawes
• Two fabulous dinners at Cocketts Inn

Under threatening skies, but off the trail

No energy bars here

Typical Hawes lane

Tea with Wallace and Grommet at the Wensleydale Creamery

And of course, drinking something besides water . . .

We're back on the trail tomorrow.  Twelve miles to Keld -- crossroads for the Coast-to-Coast and the Pennine Way.  Send best energy for sunny skies!
