5th August 2022 – Middleham to Masham – 11.1m As a couple of people suggested yesterday, a good night’s sleep worked wonders for me. I woke feeling a bit more
4th August 2022 – Askrigg to Middleham – 14.2m I feel completely done-in! I’m sitting in the Richard III in Middleham after having walked the 14.5 miles from Askrigg, had
