Day Nine - Reeth to Bolton-on-Swale
Sun. 17th May 2009
Overnight:- Walpardo - A big big thank you goes out to our hosts at the Wapardo. We had dropped our overnight bags downstairs as we left as usual for collection later by Sherpa. When we arrived at our evening accommodation I found a carrier bag tied to the handle of my bag, it was the charger for the computer which I had left in the bedroom. It must have been found and sent on, without it this diary would have had to stop.

work won't see more pain, more blood. Well this is the best we can
do I'm afraid - a bruised toe nail, so sorry
