Copenhagen to Yorkshire Dales- unknown (1697)
Highlights- Finally going somewhere (back to the UK), Yorkshire Sculpture Park, 2 great short walks
Lowlights- lots of time traveling, still no luggage
Accommodation- 1 night on a bus, 1 at Bridgette's aunts house in Canterbury, 4 at the house swap in the Yorkshire Dales

An interesting week, marred by the return by the UK but lighten by spending time with relatives. The week started with little optimism as we discovered our contact details and even bag tags had been incorrectly enter at the airport. So even if they had found the bags we would have been reunited. This meant several trips to the airport. Then the difficult decision, where to go, we couldn't sty forever with Sylvia.

Finally it was decided to head back to the UK, cheaper, easy to sort out the luggage and catch up with Bridgette's parents. With obvious reservations about boarding another plane and a tight wallet we opted for the bus. 20 hrs in a bus didn't seem that bad after 40 hrs in an airport. It felt great to be on the move again, be it in a coach. However we soon became delayed, then missed the connection and arrived late into Dover. So we were one day late leaving and eventually drove on Friday 13th (and survived).

Back in the Yorkshire Dales staying in a house exchange in the little town of Steaton. Jut down the road from the Sculpture Park which was missed before. Beautiful park displaying work Henry Moore, Andy Goldsworthy, and Hepworth. The highlights being the Goldsworthy exhibition in the underground gallery and perhaps not the sheep shit painting we walked 6km to see.

We then spent the rest of the week exploring the hills and waterfalls in the southern dales. Limited slightly by our lack of gear, ie rain coast but we still managed several half day walks. The constant threat of rain and thunder seamed to be hitting everywhere else, apparently flooding parts of the Dales.
