Hi folks
I've now got the first SD card from Roy on "phase 2" of his traipse. For some unknown reason I now seem to have been allocated more photo space on this blog, so maybe I won't have to keep deleting old photos from now on. (I wish I understood blogs!) Some of the photos are "pre-Gargrave" so should have appeared in the last entry, but I didn't have them then. For instance, these must be where the Pennine Way crossed the M62:
I don't get any information about where these photos were taken, so your guess is as good as mine as to where Roy was wearing his silly sun hat. Maybe he's just trying to demonstrate that the phase 2 weather is a big improvement on phase 1!
I suppose I could work out from the map where this one was taken:
I also have no idea where he found this old fashioned sweetshop, but I'd like to know what he was doing in a sweetshop anyway!
The route from Gargrave was up through Malham, walking for a few days with a fellow backpacker he met along the way.
After Malham there was Horton-in-Ribblesdale, then Hawes, where Roy has picked up his next batch of maps that I've sent him Poste Restante.
Everything seems to have gone fairly well with phase 2 so far. No trouble with blisters, not too much rain or too much sun, plenty of good campsites and a good tent. Next bulletin will probably be from Kirk Yetholm at the top of the Pennine Way.
Bye for now, Helen

Glad to see you are back on the road, Roy. The medics release you and the NHS celebrates 60 years.....is there some significance?!?!
Love to have details and whereabouts of the Old Fashioned Sweets Shop, worth a visit, I think.
Pleased that the weather has at last seemed to improve.
Good Luck, we are right behibd you (not literally!!).
