Day 3 completed.

After a good lunch, and a strategic choice of the road down to swaledale, things improved significantly. A steady run trhough the afternoon with no major dramas and we were at Grinton Lodge shortly after 4pm. Minor dramas included one broken chain and a stupid bird flying between my wheels.
As for the "Youth Hostel 0.5m" sign at the bottom of the hill, well definitely a country mile UPHILL!
Anyway we got here and finished the day in a place with great reception, for orange users. Shame we're not. Hoping a flurry off updates will shoot out when we hit civilisation tomorrow.
