Plans / Pennine Way
« on: August 07, 2012, 10:41:47 AM »
Hi,
It's probably a bit passe nowadays but my son has concluded that he wants to undertake this challenge and it seems my lot is to accompany him!
Neither of us could really afford the time to walk it in one go (~3 weeks) (nor are fit enough to run it over 2.5 days like the record holder! ) so are looking to split the route up into 3-4 chunks.
We have just started looking at the planning and there is an awful lot to do (the nav, kit, accomodation, travel to-from intermediate points etc).
It strikes me, however, that so many people have already done this that there must be already existing plans that, if people are prepared to share them, would save us an awful lot of time! I have done some internet trawling (and bought the new, official PW handbook) but it's very time consuming too.
So..if anyone on here has any info, advice, hints/tips they are prepared to share it would be very welcome!
thanks in advance.
Steve
