Civilisation is reached at last – Day Five

on Jul 27 in Uncategorized by

Dan and Co. have now reached Kendal at the end of Day Five and are rewarding themselves with a very well deserved chinese meal. Only ten more miles to go now. Hopefully tomorrow at lunchtime they will make their way towards the bench which marks the end of the Dales Way in Bowness. Myself, Rachael, Lydia and Eve along with Dan’s wife Kerry and Lee’s wife Natalie will be amongst the party at the finish! They have done so well.

More video should be posted by the team at ITV Local tomorrow with the big finish going online on Tuesday. I’ll try and do what I can to get it on youtube too. Although that won’t be tomorrow as I’m not in work.

I’ll leave you with Dan’s twitterings from the past 36 hours or so.
