Day 13 Great Broughton to Glaisdale

19 fairly easy miles today with only one big climb right at the beginning.  It actually turned out to be about 21 miles due to a missed turnoff, some indecision which caused us to retrace our steps and then decide we were right in the first place, and a B&B that is off the trail.

Since keeping a wifi connection for more than 5 minutes seems to be impossible in this part of the country, I'll try again tomorrow to finish this and add pictures from today and yesterday.

Continuing the next day -- I just added pictures for day 13.  Unfortunately, I added them to day 12.

At the completion of this day, we had done 58 miles in 3 days.

Trying to write about a day the next day is very difficult.  The whole hike seems to run together.  We have trouble remembering what town we are in let alone where we were.

I was surprised we made it to the B&B at Glaisdale.  The directions read "one half mile before Glaisdale (how do I know I'm one half mile from a town I can't see yet?) look for a tarn (that's a lake) on the right.  It may be dried up (now I'm looking for something that may or may not be there at a place that I have no way of identifying)" Lois saw what I thought was a large puddle and said it was a tarn.  We turned off the trail and walked a long way downhill.  All I could think about was climbing back up that hill. She was right and we found the B&B.
