Day 9 Lady Loz in Hartforth Hall

Hold the walk, we just arrived after 10.5 miles of green fields, blue skies, sheep and cows, at Hartforth Hall, Richmond, North Yorkshire. 

What a place, Fawlty Towers still lives. It's grand, cheesy and owned by David who gave us a guided tour  of his historical country mansion hotel.




There's a wedgewood room where the tables were laid out for dinner, a pale pink drawing room, two staircases one of which has various deer heads and antlers hanging off the walls. Each room is named after a poet and wifi seems alien here even though it is available.



The weather today has been full sunshine and blue skies with white fluffy clouds. A delightful amble over grassy fields through many gates and various stiles. Lots of people around today on the trail as it was Saturday and a nice day. One chap came by me and said I look like I'm ready to go from trail to nightclub in my outfit. Oh yes, so I could but too tired to go dancing tonight.



Another 10.5 miles ticked off. Total of 117.5 miles done. Very little ascent today 330m finishing up at Richmond where we had time to wander the shops and get a 99 as a reward.



Goodnight from damp pillows and a flowery bedspread. X
