Hawes
There was a thunder storm at night with heavy rain and by the time we set off in the morning there were already floods. We headed through Yealand Redmayne and across to Kirkby Lonsdale in torrential rain. Stopped at the café for a couple of hours but the rain kept coming down. We eventually had to move on but the flooding up Barbondale was even worse where we rode against a torrent of water deep enough to come over our feet. We stopped ta a tea shop in Dent for an hour before venturing back out in to the deluge. Dentdale was not much better with the river bursting out on the the road in places. We eventually arrived at the hostel in Hawes at 18:20 to find all the shops closed so we have to go for a pub meal.
