Hello, we are in Hawes, the heart of Wensleydale. Today is our second rest day of the trip. We have done 576 miles to get here.
We crossed the border into England on Sunday 14th, we had negotiated our way carefully through Craik forest when we emerged on the other side the heavens opened up. We rode for a while through torrential rain but soon came to the Samye- Ling Tibetan Centre, we took refuge in their tea rooms along with other intrepid travellers. After a while we had to continue in heavy rain but within the hour we rode from rain to glorious sunshine into Longtown, England.
