The complete Pennine Way (Highlights) ©
This video had to be edited to keep it short but there is a unedited version together with more detailed videos of various sections of the walk including the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria, Northumberland and the Scottish border at my Long Distance walks playlist here:
I walked the Pennine Way in June / July to raise money for Crisis UK. It took 20 days to complete with rest days. I walked an average of 14.5 miles per day and stayed in a mixture of campsites, bunkhouses, youth hostels, B&Bs, finishing with a hotel. The weather was very dry and hot with only 1.5 days of rain out of 20.
The Pennine Way is a National Trail which runs 268 miles (431 km) from Edale, in the northern Derbyshire Peak District and ends at Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish border. The route crosses three national parks; the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales & Northumberland, one area of outstanding natural beauty in the North Pennines and a world heritage site at Hadrian's Wall. The path runs along the Pennine hills, sometimes described as the spine of England. According to the Ramblers Association it is one of Britain's best known and toughest paths. The LDWA give the following stats for the Pennine Way: 410.6 Km (255.1 miles) length 11,345 m (37,215 ft) ascent & 893 m (2,920 ft) maximum height. A Pennine Way walker covering the entire length of the trail is obliged to navigate 287 gates, 249 timber stiles, 183 stone stiles and 204 bridges aided by 458 waymarks. Wikipedia.
A write up of the walk is available on my blog at:
Wherever you go stay safe, check the weather, plan ahead, let people know where you are going, take maps & compass with your gps and follow the countryside code.
