| Three Short Walks Continued,
We planned to walked the final stage during the August Bank Holiday which was eagerly awaited and again the section was 42 miles, with three days to do it. The first 10 miles to Greenhead was a tricky path finding exercise, then on the Roman Wall section the path made itself felt on both the short rises and drops. On through the Wark Forest where two sections needs careful attention. Then some real nice farmland tracks, took us over Shittlington Crags to Bellingham to the bus home, concluding our final section of the Pennine Way. At many places, en route, Kinder, Bleaklaw and the
like, I’m not so sure; it has called others back, One stockbroker type chap we met treats it like a golf course, doing three days at a time and taking about six weeks to do it. He carried no kit or food and was on his third round, as it were. Of course, we did return! during a rare heat wave summer, when we did the full Pennine Way in one stretch, considered by some as Original Lightweight Camping. Camping under the stars without a tent. |
