Day 11 (Clove Lodge - Langdon Beck)

Distance: 15 miles 
Cumulative: 159.5 miles
Gates: 42
Stiles: 48
Red letter day today. We finally managed to get the cream tea we have been searching for since we left Malham. The Conduit Tea Room in Middleton in Teesdale didn't disappoint....and the rock cakes were great too. 
The Cream Tea
Clearly we avoided being trampled to death by Baldersdale cows. Having left Clove Lodge we walked past the house where Hannah Hauxwell lived, farming without mechanical aids, running water or electricity until 1988. She was the subject of a fascinating BBC documentary . The route followed the Tees upstream passing Low Force and High Force.

Tom and Finn at High Force
Dale B&B is lovely, and we highly recommend tea at the Langdon Beck Hotel. I will be so sad to leave Tom tomorrow and head back to the real world and work. 
Meg.
