Somehow the iphone let me down and copped off some of the email. Here is the rest of it.
There are so many passing walkers that the sheep are very tame. We almost have to step over them. They like the depressions in the path and will not be bothered by mere walkers. Here is one of the cheaky chaps.
Yesterday (Friday) we walked past Howsteads castle and settlement. We hopped over the fence for free (sorry English heritage) and wandered around. It was amazing to see the foundations of a settlement from so long ago.
We stumbled in to the pub called Twice Brewed in a village called Once brewed. We both had massive meals and chatted to two Open uni history students. They had been to most if the sites and were very knowledge on all things Roman. The two pints had addled my brain and it was a challenge to erect the tent in the dark. Finding the water point took ages as I walked arond the permeter of 4 fields before finding it.
We are camping in the ex-yha hostel tonight (Saturday) and are hiding in the pub from midgies. We met two groups of pennine way walkers one couple who were nearly finished and were complainign about the bogs and weather. I can only add that the weather has been great for us and the ground bone dry. The chap at the b&b and camping barn was very grumpy so we walked on. The barn looked like it might harbour bed bugs, but we could have camped in a tent there if we wanted.
Our packs feel lighter today which can only mean I have lost some stuff somewhere, or we have run out if food.
