Day 5 - The Review

Day 5 was a colossal 22 mile trek from Shap to Kirkby Stephen; it was relatively flat for most of the day but was made harder by the searing heat throughout the day. We were tired and ready to finish, when we found ourselves in Smardale, 2 miles away from Kirkby Stephen and realised we had to march on regardless of how tired we were. When we arrived we were feeling the effects of chronic sunburn and dehydration but we welcomed a nice comfortable youth hostel.
