Cow Dub to Sedbergh, 11 miles
Today's walk was long, but relatively easy, with a nice lunch break at Dent.
 |
| There's not much water in the River Dee right now, and it frequently disappears underground. |
 |
| Even at the confluence of the River Dee and Deepdale Beck, the visible part of the river looks like a small pond, not a river. |
 |
| Later, the River Dee becomes a real stream again, and stepping stones provide access to the other bank. |
 |
| Pasture land in Dentdale. |
 |
| Approaching the small village of Dent. Even though Dent is tiny, it doesn't lack for pubs and cafes. We had a nice tea break in Dent. |
 |
| The monument to Adam Sedgwick.Sedgwick, one of the pioneers of modern geology, was born in Dent and educated in Sedburgh. |
 |
| Many of the fields were filled with buttercups. I can't help but think of the "Golden Book" Tootle. |
 |
| Now that we're off the moors and back along the rivers, bluebells again covered large areas, mostly under trees. |
 |
| We finally got to see dippers. |
 |
| A thrush, possibly a mistle thrush or a song thrush. |
 |
| We saw lots of lambs (of course), but today's picture is of sheep enjoying their own little niches in the hill. |
 |
| We haven't seen many chickens, but this set remedied that. |
 |
| Approaching Sedbergh. Our inn for the night was about a half mile off the trail. |
