Day 10:Ingleby Cross to Clay Bank Top, 12.5 miles (20km)

This morning we set off (around 8:45AM) in high spirits as we knew that we only had a relatively short distance to cover and this was the first time we would be walking in the Yorkshire Dales. Luckily our feet had mostly recovered from yesterday's 'fun' and we were looking forward to a leisurely walk. Whilst the route included some mild ascents/descents, for the most part this was a reasonably enjoyable day with some nice views.

A little rain around midday made the already cooling breeze a bit cold and both of us donned our waterproof jackets for a short time. The rain didn't last long and we arrived at Beak Hill farm (a small farm about 1km from the main trail) at around 2:20PM to a roaring log fire.....and no phone reception with O2 or Orange! We were however, pleasantly surprised to find that the Vodafone 3G dongle that we use for the laptop to connect to the Internet could pick up a signal.
