Day 5 saw up wake to more rain. After breakfast we headed out into the drizzle and began climbing out of the valley where the hostel was located. We altered the original route to stick to more major routes to remove some troublesome navigation and increase the pace. This saw us heading towards Shrewsbury. Reaching the top of the hill we stopped to remove our extra layers as the sun had come out. On the road down into Shrewsbury Owen set the group's top speed of 49.3 mph.
