Pennine Way

Hmm?  Which way?

In March 2007 we walked a whole day and a half on the Pennine Way. Little did we know that those few miles would scratch an itch, and that over the next three and a half years, we'd walk the whole thing in many stages.

The oldest National Trail in Britain, and perhaps the most famous, the Pennine Way links Edale in Derbyshire with Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders.

It's 267 miles of walking in the Pennines and Cheviots is, perhaps, best known for the bogs, mud and rain. Although that's not all it offers.

We walked most of the Pennine Way before I started writing up our walking journeys, however these few posts give some insight in to the Granddaddy of Britain's long distance footpaths.

March 2010 and to say our attempt at finishing the top third of the Pennine Way was a disaster, is probably an understatement...

In August 2010, after doing it over several stages, we arrived back in Byrness with one intent. To finally finish the Pennine Way.

The end is nigh for our Pennine Way adventure, but not just yet as we leave Byrness and head to the remote farmhouse at Barrowburn

After several years of walking, we finally arrive in Kirk Yetholm and complete the Pennine Way

    Choosing between three walks

    I recently had an email that posed me an interesting question. They were hoping to do a long distance walk in 2013 but weren't sure which to do.

    Five Years of Walking

    There are times when you can look back and spot a life changing moment. And who would have thought that, for me, it would involve a day and a half on the Pennine Way during a particularly soggy part of March in 2007?
