The two maps that make up the Pennine Way hike showed up in the mail this morning! Whooo Hooo! I am excited.
This adds 270 odd miles to my hike and now Ive committed myself to doing a month of hiking. I am looking forward to doing two of the UK’s majour trails and taking on a just for the heck of it 75 miler at the end.
So the plan is
1 - Pennine Way, from just outside manchester at Edale all the way up to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland, just over the English border.
2 - Need to get some kind of transport across to the coast to Berwick Opon Tweed, where I can get the mainline train up to Glasgow via Edinburgh. There is a listed bus that goes from Kirk Yetholm to Kelso and from there I can get a bus service up to Edinurgh, but I dont know how frequent this is.
3 - From Glasgow I local bus it to the suburb of Milngavie and start the West Highland Way up to Fort William.
4 - Summit Ben Nevis at end of West Highland Way.
5- Start Great Glen way in Fort William and continue up to Inverness.
6 - Get train service back down to Edinburgh then back to Darlington where I can get a local train to Middlesbough! Home!
Now I need to go over maps on where to resupply on the PW. I think I can make the whole WHW without resupply and the same goes for the GGW.
I would rather not have to tote 5+ days of food tho, and want to keep things light, so if I can resupply each 3 or 4 days continuously, that would be bonza.
Now I am wondering if there will be a border marker on the Pennine Way when I cross into Scotland, but since its a no-name hill in a no-name field I probably wont be able to tell… Guess I will find out when I get there…
