Shap to Long Mire

4th July 2007

Stage 15 of our c2c. We left Shap and followed the c2c across the M6. The terrain has changed into limestone country and we walked across our first bit of limestone pavement although we did see lots of erratic boulders 0f Shap granite which had been left after the glaciers retreated. We walked around the quarry and then left the c2c at Long Mire and followed the footpath to Crosby Ravensworth. Unfortunately the pub in CR was closed so we sat in a bus shelter to eat our lunch. We followed other paths back to Shap passing stone circles on the way. The walk was 18.3km. When we got back there was another caravan and a tent in our field, cheek!
