The Pennine Way

Long Distance Footpath
From
Derbyshire
to
The Scottish Border

However
I completed it the
"non traditional" way
North to South

a distance of 270 miles
(its the same distance
the other way round of course)

I completed this walk back in 1980,
long before the days of digital cameras web sites,
as a result I have scanned my prints (these have already been copied from slides)
I have also taken the notes on this page from my expedition log.

I completed the walk with Dave Allen, a friend from Abington Vale Venture Scouts,
the walk was for our Queens Scout Expedition.
link to my page on Scouting and mountaineering.

the walk took 16 days actual walking, with an additional day of travel either end.

	the Starting point was the village of Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish borders near to the town of Kelso.
	the PW walks along Hadrians wall for a section this is the highest poin on Hadrians wall is the cairn pictured at 1230 feet
	two views of high force in Teesdale
	Greg's hut on Cross Fell Mountain bothy, managed by the MBA
	Crossfell approaching the summit 2970 feet
	for a short while the Pennine Way combines with the Dales Way towards the viaduct I later completed the Dales Way in 1997 link to my Dales Way pictures
	crossing the M62 motorway a taste of civilization again well perhaps not !!
	we did it the end of the Pennine Way Edale in Derbyshire
