-pops- Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I remember doing the Pennine Way using the Wainwright guide in the early '70's.As Wiki says, a very strange book starting at the bottom, back and proceeding to the front - it worked, though.

Watchful Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Agreed.....an excellent programme as was the recent series with Julia Bradbury attempting some of the walks. I always wanted to walk the Pennine Way but never got around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that series too - on BBC4. Made me mourn not being fit enough to have a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
