And now we’ve been home more than two weeks<\/span> it will be three weeks tomorrow<\/del> it’s 3 weeks today. Which means I’m already behind on telling you what we’ve been doing since we’ve been back and it’s kind of a lot.<\/p>\n

But, back on the Dales Way, on Thursday the 8th, we were leaving Dent<\/a> on the way to Sedbergh<\/a>, England’s book town. It’s about 5 miles from Dent to Sedburgh, and our itinerary had us walking beyond Sedburgh about another 5 miles to a place called Beck Foot. Then we would be taxied back to Sedbergh to spend the night, since there were no B&Bs available in Beck Foot. At breakfast in Dent, we had decided to cancel the taxi, and only walk as far as Sedbergh<\/a>. The Sedburgh to Beck Foot part sounded nice, the guide book said, After Sedbergh, the character of the Dales Way changes again as it passes through the gently rolling landscape of the <\/em>Eden Valley to Beck Foot. <\/em>But we still decided we could miss it.<\/p>\n

We set off from Dent, got a last coffee at the Heritage Center, and mostly stuck to the road.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
