Day 4

The final day, in true d of e spirit was gorgeous. We had a "nice" walk along a river and then we walked up to High Pike and the back down into the valley to the finish. Of course it would have been nicer if there weren't so many midgey insects swarming around just waiting to attack me and we hadn't bumped into the assessor in all her purple glory just as we had been singing a song about her.

To amuse ourselves on day 4, we took great delight in writing a song(on my arm in permanent marker) which completely slagged off Yorkshire. When we got tired of that we started singing a song "Hey Big Purple!" about the assessor who sported a rather fetching purple coat.

As we approached the finish, we could see where exactly we were supposed to finish, but had no idea how to cross the river between us and the finish. It was suggested that we just walk right through the river, but i then pointed out that i had finally dried off after being soaked through to the bone for 3 days and would like to remain so until we got home. We eventually found the bridge that we were supposed to cross although it really didn't seem like it could be where the path crossed the river, seeing as it had a sign on it reading "absolutely no public right of way WHATSOEVER". - We risked it.

Despite having left at 8.15am, we still didn't finish until about 5 and we were knackered, but that didn't stop us all from having a party on the bus on the way home.
