The Pennine Way is 270 miles long. It starts in the Peak district at Edale, goes past my home area following the spine of England up to the border with Scotland, finishing just after the border is crossed. It is the longest and most demanding of the UK’s long distance paths. It’s a very boggy walk with lots of bleak hill tops. Many who try it fail! We are doing this in luxury stopping in B&B each night and having a company move our luggage so we only carry a day bag. The planning has been long, lots of research, lots of ringing B&B despite using a company to book the accommodation and taxi’s. Taxi’s are used where the accommodation is a long way from the pennine way route. We are doing 3 of the stages with my brother and sister-in-law. They are going to take our car from Edale back to their home and then bring it up to Scotland for us at the end. Despite this being just a walking holiday it is costing about 3 times more than I have ever paid for a holiday! Below is a table of the planned route. And at the bottom of this page is a link to my just giving page, money going to UNICEF to help people who don’t have water and food, let alone the freedom to walk 270 for pleasure. Be warned I plan to Blog everyday.
