Day 12, Tuesday Aug. 27, Arandale Guest House, Richmond

Hiked 11 miles, 118 miles down, 74 miles to go

Today was another great day for hiking. The trail was very manageable, the weather was good, and we made good time. We made it to our B&B by 3:30. It even has a hot tub that we will use. Tomorrow is a layover day so we we explore the town of Richmond.

Today we went over many stiles and through many small gates in stone walls. My GPS said we hiked 12.4 miles.

Whatever the actual mileage we are slowly getting closer to the finish at Robin Hoods Bay. I still have one bothersome blister and Kathy's feet have ached some but we keep doing the best we can to keep going. We are thankful for a layover day tomorrow. - Nancy (Nancy says that their B&B in Richmond is at the corner of Quaker Lane and Queen's Road! - rw)
