Day 4 had us back walking. After a good night's sleep and delicious breakfast, we began our day at Clay Bank with beautiful views -

The heather is still trying to burst into full bloom. It still needs that day of sunshine,  but there is more purple than 2 days ago -

We passed this bronze age burial mound -

And this boundary stone (the larger of the two). The other stone is the Jenny Bradley stone (there is no record of why it's there or who she was) -

We made stops for lunch and boot checks -

The scenery remained beautiful as the clouds came -

After more and more moor, we finally headed back into the woods -

 

Near the end of today's walk, we passed by the Captain Cook Memorial -

A note about yesterday's post - Gary was kind enough to correct me about the sheep moat. Ha, ha it's not a who, who! The correct term is "ha, ha" though it has been referred to as an "ah, ah" (probably because it maintains the view while keeping the sheep away from places they don't belong). Thanks, Gary. You never cease to amaze us with your knowledge of obscure facts.

Here's hoping we get that sunny day tomorrow!
