A bit of a dull trudge through boggy fields and pastures for the start of the day, until the descent around Harter Fell and into Middleton which was much better. The first few miles out of Middleton are a bit of a steeplechase course, with far too many stiles to negotiate. Low Force and High Force are superb of course and I also enjoyed the section over Bracken Rigg. A warm welcome at East Underhurth and well worth staying here if you can
