Although the day was a shorter distance, the first half was on minor country roads and as a result was very hilly. The scenery probably compensated, although it's harder to appreciate when your exhausted.
Not much of interest happened on day 5, our muscles were sore but coping, the weather stayed reasonable all day. Towards the end there were some large hills, and a head wind made it even tougher. However, we weren't too tired, and reached Clun with a little energy to spare. The youth hostel was volunteer run, and we had a few friendly conversations with the people looking after the hostel, and some people who were camping outside. There was also a large shop in the village for some reason, where we stocked up on dinner and snacks. For tea we had a massive bowl of pasta each with some spicy sause. Nick failed to finish his.
