You have a great family, there are normal hiking miles and there are Lake District miles, a very good effort, well done. I could not attempt the second climb and just stayed in the pub you would have past at the start of the second assent.
Absolutely, definitely, without a doubt make that day into two days, ie., Stonethwaite toGrassmere and Grassmere to Pattersale. After a late start, it took us more than 5 hours to get to Grassmere. It’s the only time on any of our walks that I threw in the towel and took a taxi / bus. Maybe people used to walking those hills can do it all in a day and still arrive before dinner but that average person will struggle. Congratulations on doing it!
Thanks for the congrats, but as you seem to know, this was a crazy endeavor. I'd like to do the trail again, and we'll definitely use two days for this section. It is hard to stress this enough to others considering the trail.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims ah, ok -- I'd have thought they painted them after each was counted or shorn, so as to avoid double counting or rounding up one already shorn ...
@@staceyandmollypilgrims I believe you. Meaning, dispite the _long_ day that should have been two shorter ones, you had the time and stamina to talk to the hosts, I suppose!

Thanks for the kind comments. Your plan makes more sense than ours, but we're glad we made it through.

14:54 Thanks for telling! Done, both of them!
6:05 _and_ Molly's taking a picture.
8:05 21 km already and all day isn't finished, this one might hurt in the evening or next day ?
We really paid for it in subsequent days. I wish we had a do-over on the planning of this one.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims I believe you.
I recall the day from (and the night in) Estella ...
2:06 what a cutiepie!
11:18 Was there green paint on the sheep or sth?
They had ferns stuck to them. Those ferns had a very rough surface, and they would stick all over the sheep - especially in the neck area.

13:40 Looks cosy ...
This was one of those Inns that has been a core part of the Coast to Coast since the start. There was a lot of hiking history there.
