Hiking the UK's Oldest & Most Challenging National Trail: The Pennine Way
I rarely know what to expect when I set off on an adventure and my trip to the Peak District and Derbyshire in the United Kingdom was no different. I must admit, I may have held a slight prejudice in thinking that UK wouldn't quite compare to the exotic beauty of other locations, but man was I wrong. I was constantly surprised at the amount of natural beauty and stunning views to be found along the Pennine Way, Britain’s oldest and most challenging National Trail. Setting off from the Old Nags Head in Edale, and every step along the 268-mile long trail to Scotland, the trail had plenty of adventure.
There are so many charms to the Pennine Way, it was a pleasure to hike. The day that stands out to me the most was the day we hiked from Low Force Falls all the way to High Cup Nick. This 17-mile day had plenty of beauty, capped off by one of the most stunning campsites I've had the pleasure of camping at. The views there will stick with me for a long time.
Getting to climb on world-class grit stone was quite the experience. I can see why so many climbers migrate to the Peak District. Friendly locals, great local fare, caving at Alum Pot, and the opportunity to climb at Stanage was fantastic—Peak District & Derbyshire offers so much more than just great hiking and I hope you enjoy this episode of Trackin’ Dirt as much as I enjoyed my time in England!

Young Rising Sons - Undefeatable (2 of 18) - Hiking the Pennine Way Trail - England & Scotland
Photos and video to the song “Undefeatable” by Young Rising Sons. Photographs and video were taken while hiking the Pennine Way trail in England between Kinder Downfall and Laddow Rocks. The Pennine Way is a National Trail in England, with a small section in Scotland. The trail runs 268 miles (431 km) from Edale, in the northern Derbyshire Peak District, north through the Yorkshire Dales and the Northumberland National Park and ends at Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish border. The path runs along the Pennine hills, sometimes described as the backbone of England. Although not the United Kingdom's longest National Trail, it is, according to the Ramblers' Association, ”one of Britain's best known and toughest.”
Discover England's Great Walking Trails - Pennine Way
The Pennine Way is England's original long distance walking trail and the second longest after the Southwest Coast Path. A beautiful long distance walking trail, running coast to coast across the north of England close to the Scottish border. Here's what you can expect to see along the way.
Commissioned by Marketing Peak District and Visit England, a video was created to promote 7 of England's long distance walking trails. Each video aims to showcase highlights of each trail, whilst conveying some of the experience of walking the trail.
Filming the video series was fantastic. We travelled up and down the UK, visiting some beautiful areas and national parks and all the videos were filmed in 6 weeks.

Pennine Way Part 4 | Final Part | Greenhead to Kirk Yetholm
Join me as my Pennine Way adventure comes to an end. Part 4 follows my journey from Greenhead on Hadrian's Wall to the small Scottish border town or Kirk Yetholm were the Pennine Way finishes. There is some great history and stunning vistas to enjoy along the way. I hope you enjoy watching and have enjoyed the series.
I would like to apologise for calling Kirk Yetholm, Kirk YELTOLM. Even after reading the signs and in my guide book, I still get it wrong!
I would also like to thank the bloke from the pub in Kirk Yetholm, sorry I can't remember the name, who kindly gave me a lift to Kelso on the Sunday as there were no buses. Got me out of a pickle, very much appreciated.
