Comments on: Walking the Pennine Way http://cjw.me.uk and a few walks Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:29:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Barny http://cjw.me.uk/photos/walking-the-pennine-way-photos/comment-page-1/#comment-9203 Barny Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:38:45 +0000 http://cjw.me.uk/?page_id=292#comment-9203 Great site and pictures. I did the PW in June/July this year. Suffered with my ageing knees and ankles but finished thanks to the magic of Ibuprofen. I split the Byrness to Kirk Yetholm section into 2, camping at the northern refuge hut - this is worth doing just for the experience. I didn't book any accomodation in advance, I managed to find somewhere every night to either camp or B&B. Great site and pictures. I did the PW in June/July this year.

I've read comments on the Pennine Way being rather monotone. Hi Michael,

While I was doing the Pennie Way I was thinking about Offa's Dyke and talked to a few people about it and heard some good comments. Though have yet to find the time to dust of the maps and make the trip myself. If you have the time to do the Pennie Way I suggest you go for it. Good luck with the planning. @Pieter – I think you can do both the easy way, though the Pennie Way is 100 miles or so longer.

Especially the variation in the landscape made this trip a beautiful experience. We had perfect weather except for only one day of rain leaving from Richmond to Ingleby Cross. Thinking about either Offa's Dyke or the Pennine Way as a target for our 2010 holiday destination. Do you have any sugestions to take onboard for us in the decision process please? @Christopher: girlfriend and I ‘easy-wayed’ (using luggage courier) the C2C from west to east in June 2008 and had a speldid holiday.

I heard it is possible to stay at Uswayford to break up the journey, though I am not sure what accommodation is there - I had planned to use it to pick up a pre-arranged taxi to get me to Kirk Yetholm and back the following day to complete the walk. In the end I was fit enough to complete it in one go - and as the weather was getting worse it spurred me on. Have a great trip. @SouthDerry

Any Comments/idea!! Oh it will B&B all the way!!

I did Byrness to Kirk Yetholm in one go, if I was doing it again and if the weather was good I would make use of one of the huts on this stage to break it into two - as I was a bit hurried and didn't have time to do The Cheviot either. @Michael,
