When a trip to walk the length of New Zealand was cancelled, I came up with this idea for a long distance walk closer to home. Crossing the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks, it was over 330 kilometeres of adventure joy! The route that I planned on komoot also took in sections of the Pennine Way, Ribble Way, Dales High Way and Wainwright’s Coast to Coast trail.
The challenge felt a lot like a pilgrimage at times. The only thing I had to worry about for two weeks was putting one foot in front of the other. I walked half of the journey alone, while friends and family joined me for the other half. I wild camped in my tent most nights, although I did enjoy a few evenings in guest houses for a proper wash and to dry out kit!
The best bit by far was the sunset on the last night. I was camping high in the Lake District mountains and I was treated to golden skies for an hour and it felt like such a special last night treat.
The most challenging element was when my boot lace loop snapped on Day 8 in the Yorkshire Dales, but I was determined to finish in the same boots I started in.
Feel free to ask me any questions about the trip.
