Route: leaving Staveley station and walking south to join the Dales Way route. Thereafter alternating running and walking to Hagg Bridge and then back through the woods on the north side of the Kent staying close to the river for as long as possible to minimise road use and then back to Staveley Mill Yard across fields from near the sewage works.
Conditions: initially cool but warm in the sun.
Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley, for Hawkshead Five Hop.
