31.08.24 Orton to Kirkby Stephen

This is how we actually envisioned it. The day began with a relaxed and delicious breakfast in Orton (granola, strawberries, blueberries, and much more). We then walked in the sunshine the 21 km to Kirkby Stephen. The route took us through a lonely heathland and up and down meadows. Despite the lengthy breaks by our standards, we arrived at the accommodation by 2:30 PM. After a nice dinner at the local Indian restaurant and a chat with Australian fellow hikers, we are satisfied with the day.
