For the first time in well over a week, I woke up alone. Despite feeling a little melancholic upon Richard's departure last night, I was...

It's fair to say that neither of us were really relishing another day of getting beaten about by the Staffordshire Way - yesterday had...

If yesterday was the finest day of the hike so far (and it was), then today was definitely the worst - the reason, I hear you desperately...

30 miles. That's how far we walked today, 30 miles (58,000 steps). I don't think I've ever walked that much in one day, nor probably will...

Dear gods I've been looking forward to this. After nearly 250 long and bitter miles I had just 18 more to go and I could finally wash my...

Yes, mind games. Because there is no other reasonable explanation for why the shortest day of the hike came to be one of the hardest....

Firstly, it's not actually tales of Richard I King of England, that would be a very different blog entry - that said the newest addition...

We left Cowling in the watery morning sun, buoyed immensely by the prospect of a full rest day at Hebden Bridge tomorrow - Hebden is...

Having genuinely enjoyed yesterday's opening to the Annie Trilogy I could hardly wait to see the sequel and so instead of queuing at the...

In an extremely exciting change of pace, we now start the first section of this blog to feature an additional walker, my sister Annie. So...

On starting today my mood was bleak. Maybe it was the crushing 20 mile, 3 peak climb yesterday,  maybe it was the soggy youth hostel...

After yesterday's rather tame filler day, today was an altogether different beast. Sure 20 miles has become practically par for the...

Having rested for a full 24 hours in Haltwhistle (where I did nothing but cook and eat bacon and avocado rolls, drink whiskey and watch...

Today I turned 29 for the first and final time. I awoke to grey clouds and walked the unnecessary mile back into town (though Glenda and...

As you can probably guess from the title, today was not a walk to live long in the memory, instead I'll start with the exciting gossip I...

I had not been looking forward to today, I would be leaving Scotland behind, a country I have become rather attached to, and I'd have to...

A shorter day today, and a shorter blog entry too - not just due to the decreased mileage, but also because very little of interest...

Having slept wonderfully in the warm and dry, courtesy of the unexpected generosity of Mark and Veronika I was back on the trail early...

I took a rather lonely rest day in Edinburgh which was mainly spent hunting around the city for a guidebook on the Pennine Way - I would...
