Scorching hot today even when we left. We headed over to Kirkby Fleetham and stopped at a pub for tea and iced drinks, we needed to keep taking in fluid constantly. Next we went to Catterick, got there about twelve thirty but the café was already shut. Luckily we managed to buy food in the coop and sit under the trees for a picnic. The next section up through Hipswell shouldn't be too hard but with the temperature up to 32C by now we had to keep stopping when we found shade. It's a steady climb then suddenly you're at the top, a quick whizz downhill and we're in Swaledale and an ice cream shop in Reeth, cafés still shut for some reason. When the ice cream shop closed we headed down to Grinton and The Bridge Inn for a quick pint before heading up to the hostel.
Day 6 heading for Swaledale.
