Pennine Way complete

posted by Alpine Exploratory on Wednesday, 15 April 2009

Our research on the Pennine Way is complete. For spring and summer 2009 we are now offering the whole route from Edale to Kirk Yetholm.

The PW is magnificent. It is frustrating, challenging, at times bleak and wet, but it's magnificent.

Over the next few days we'll update our pages to include full details of our PW trip and of course the Pennine Way North for our clients who are completing it stage-wise. We'll also update our Walking Guide page on the PW:

The Pennine Way: A guide to the walk

Please contact us to chat about this superb route.

Pennine Way on Hadrian's Wall

posted by Simon Stevens at Alpine Exploratory on Friday, 28 November 2008

As part of our research for our Pennine Way North trip, planned for 2009, we visited Hadrian's Wall in November 2008. For the day's walk between Greenhead and a point just before Housesteads, the Pennine Way runs along the wall and thus follows the Hadrian's Wall Way.

The photo shows the open country into which the Pennine Way ventures as it leaves the Wall for its final journey North to the Cheviot Hills.

More Pennine Way exploration

posted by Alpine Exploratory on Sunday, 11 November 2007

We've just finished researching a new holiday, running for 6 days between Edale and Malham on the Pennine Way. These are the first 6 stages of the famous route. Linking Edale to Malham lets us offer the route as far as Alston in the North Pennines, roughly two thirds of the way up. The new trip is the Pennine Way South and is offered as a self-guided walking holiday of 7 nights.

Apart from being a good chunk of this national trail, the holiday gives a week's exploration of some lesser-known upland areas in England. Moors and fields dominate the scenery. It's a walk of gently changing, open views rather than spectacular sights but one that leaves a lasting impression.
