We set off in the sun after a night in one of the nicest guest houses at which we've had the pleasure of staying. The weather was beautiful, and we made good progress over the moors. We stopped for lunch on the hill before w entered Keilder woods, having picked up fresh sandwiches from the Bellingham Bakery.
The clouds rolled over our heads as we entered the woods, but id did not begin to rain. The path through the forest was little more than a boggy track to start with, but the rest of the route after fifiteen minutes or so was on a gravel road, meaning we could make lots of headway and were in Byrness by 4:00.The Forest View Inn in Byrness was ideal accomodation for walkers and bikers alike - being in a great, quiet location, only ten minutes from Keilder, it served good food morning and night. The staff were all friendly, and even took our boots from us as we arrived, brushed them off, and dried them for us.
All in all, a good day.
