THE FORCE

Sheila has passed through Middleton-in-Teesdale and recently ridden past High Force, where the River Tees plunges over a 71 foot precipice. She is now charging towards Yad Moss.
Today's ride has been a battle against strong head winds and Sheila will, we think, be very pleased to crest the summit. She will then bear down on Alston for some rabbit stew, then on to Slaggyford and finally Brampton, where she will probably be made to eat more rabbit stew before deciding whether to press on over the border to Moffat or snatch some sleep.
In the meantime, here is a photograph of some rocks near High Force. It's an old photo but, according to Wikipedia (so it must be true), High Force was formed 295 million years ago and it probably hasn't changed very much since this photo was taken in about 1989.
