The electricians came first thing this morning and implemented a temporary fix to the problem, which is good enough for our stay.
After breakfast we had a short walk in the village, which has a bridge over Gayle Beck right in the middle.
For our walk today we drove in 2 cars to Bainbridge, just a few miles along the valley. We parked next to the village green.
We walked out of the village via a bridge over the River Bain, then along through fields to Semer Water.
We stopped there for a short break, then headed uphill past an old chapel and cemetery, and through the hamlet of Stalling Busk.
We saw many new born lambs, and lots of curlews and lapwings.
We walked up to about 550 metres on tracks through open moorland, and stopped for lunch at a crossroads at the highest point.
On the way down went past a spectacular flat topped hill called Addlebrough, one of many around this part of the country.
Going back into Bainbridge we noticed that there was an Archimedes screw in the river which we found out was part of a community hydroelectric system.
The pub in Bainbridge was closed, so we drove to Hawes and went for a drink in the Fountain Inn.
Later, after showering etc. at the house, we went out for dinner at the White Hart. Everybody enjoyed what they had, the vegan options were good.
Scott had a burger with cheese and bacon, which Shirley had a beef and potato pie which was excellent.
We all went back to the house for more drinks and some Guardian quizzing!
