Day 6 - Shap to Kirkby Stephen

Another day on the coast to coast walk .. another 20 miles completed. We arrived in Kirkby Stephen this evening and the total mileage now stands at 84 miles.

Today was a real contrast to the first five days. Having left behind Lakeland and entered limestone country we were walking on heather moorland. The hills were less steep and covered in grass rather than rocks. On the way we saw stone circles, old Roman roads and dotted amongst the limestone, granite boulders left behind after the last ice age.



We have a couple of easier days now (13mls, 11 miles) before the longer days kick in again  next week.
