Dales Way - Day 5 - Burneside to Bowness-on-Windermere

River Kent - Just outside Burneside…. strange ?

Bowston Bridge

Cowan Head

Gentle walking alongside the River Kent near Hagg Foot

The home of the Hawkshead Brewery

A bit damp in places

They must have realised that the 'Gay Fellows Rambling Club' were in town !

Lakeland views start appearing

Nearing Cleabarrow

Just as we neared the end of the walk, we had a downpour and decided to shelter in the trees to get our Golden Smog T-Shirts on.

Sun out again, so let's press on and finish whilst the weather is good

One last Dales Way snap of the walking duo before the partying begins

And there it is .... Looks identical to the one at the start - only this one has "Ilkley 81 miles" on it - clever eh !!

One more for the 'Golden Smog on Tour' Hall of Fame and the end of the Dales Way Another great walk - shorter than usual, but under the circumstances we were lucky to get a LDW in at all !

A wander around Bowness and a pint in the Boaters Bar to celebrate.

This is always the best bit - Sian (aka Sians Logistics) treats us to loads of goodies following the completion of a successful long distance walk. Can't believe I really have my own set of Wainwright Top Trumps !

Time to put on your best gear and head for Grasmere
