Kilometers: 21
I stayed at the IOU Hostel in Hebden Bridge. The hostel is nice with a good kitchen and large communal areas, but for some reason I only saw two other people staying there and they were just going to their room. I wonder if the reason is that it's a vegetarian hostel? They don't want you to cook or eat anything with meat or fish, so guests probably go down Hebden to eat?
This morning when I looked at the map I saw that the route would take me via Heptonstall, and since I walked there yesterday I took the bus up the hill today. I really didn't feel like walking up the hill with my backpack!
Just before I arrived at the first reservoir and the dam I had to cross, Jenny and Mike from Australia caught up with me. I was so happy I didn't have to cross the dam alone. As it turns out the dam was very nice, if all dams are like this one I won't have a problem. And to think I've been worried about the dams for months đ
Jenny and Mike had walked the Pennine Way before and were now walking a section they missed that time. It was very nice to have someone to talk to again but they were going farther than I was so they had to continue. I was now walking up a long hill from the reservoirs almost to Top Withins, a ruin that by many is thought to have inspired Emily Brontë when she wrote Wuthering Heights.
At Top Withins I met Lynne and Dave who told me about Haworth, the town where the Brontë sisters lived and wrote many of their books. Also, there's the Brontë waterfall and bridge on the way there. I decided to go that way to see some of the places that inspired the sisters in their writing.
On the way to the waterfall I met Jenny and Mike again, they had also decided to go to the waterfall and were now on their way back. And at the bridge I met Lynne and Dave again.

I walked with Lynne and Dave to Haworth and once there I got a room at the Old White Lion hotel.
