| Description | A walk along Long Dale and Gratton Dale before walking back to Friden. |
| Pack | Full. Not much spare clothing or food. |
| Condition | Okay. My legs got very tired on the uphill climb to Mount Pleasant Farm, but recovered on the flay section that followed. Feet were okay afterwards. I had tried out using 1,000 mile socks next to the skin with their oversocks, but I think that I prefer using their undersocks with a a pair of woolen thick oversocks. |
| Weather | Sunny and reasonably warm, but with a cold wind blowing which meant it was cold on the tops. |
