Day 6 : Orton to Kirkby Stephen

Sheep!

Sheep.

I haven’t mentioned sheep yet. And that’s a shame because they have kept up company right from the start. Previously, the scenery has been much prettier than the sheep, but today has been foggy and wet so thoughts go elsewhere.
Days like today generate Random Riley Ramblings. “Fleece Release Me, Let Me Go” — Engelbert Humperdink, “Baa Baa Baby” — Bay City Rollers. I’ll stop there.
So we are back where we started. Steff’s dodgy ankles are still dodgy. I managed to pick up a blister. After 90 miles walking it isn’t too surprising. Oh and my big toe has gone numb.
I need to work off my sheep fixation. The landscape is still lovely so I should concentrate on other things.
Do click on the comment button below. We would love to see if anyone is reading these ramblings.

  2. I can assure you that you are being followed very closely by the “Howarth Clan”. Thoroughly enjoying the updates and look forward to reading them each day. Keep up the good work! Love to you both xx Helen, Ken, Jackie etc

  3. Which way round is it Steve? Kirkby Stephen Riley, Kirkby Steven Riley, Steven Kirkby Riley or Stephen Kirky Riley and in any case with all the toe trouble perhaps you Orton do it.

    I’m just confused, we were expecting you to talk about the journey not your name!

    Have fun, Charles & Nadine

    Keep going, and love to you both. Janet and Brian.
