That’s Bugsy, Mark G and myself done day 5 of the Dales Way, which took us 10.15 miles from Dent railway station, then onto Lea Yeat where we ended the Dales Way yesterday, then along to today’s ending point at Sedbergh.

The highlights from day 5 were… Getting a train from Ribblehead railway station to Dent railway station, which is highest operational main line station in England at 350 metres above sea level. Then walking to the village of Dent it’s self, a walk of around 5 miles.
