Today was even hotter than yesterday, reaching at least 25 degrees (according to John).
We set off at 9:00 from the B&B, and wandered via the canal into Hebden Bridge to stock up on various things from the pharmacy, and soming for lunch.
As it was John's Birthday, we had a drink at Sauce Coffee in the town, before taking a round about route through some woods to rejoin the Pennine Way on a moor, shortly after lunch in the lee of a barn.
We met an american airline pilot who worked for United Airlines, who had decided to come up by train and bus to Howorth, and walk back via the Pennine Way to Hebden Bridge in time for a train back Manchester, some sleep, and his next flight, 24 hours
The rest of the day passed uneventful in the swealtering heat, and we arrived at the Old Silent Inn at 4:45, just in time for a drink; John recommended the Silent Ale, a beer brewed on site.
I have still got mild sunburn on both arms and the back of my neck, only it's a little less mild, and a little more burning now than it was before. However, all is well as we bought some after-sun in the phamacy in Hebden Bridge, and I am working on applying that regularly.
