The last stage. A little farewell melancholy is already setting in. The morning sky in College Valley looks back sadly. The technician couldn't get the WLAN working again yesterday afternoon. For an update of the weather app, a short walk through the morning drizzle leads a bit down the access road until

The shelter hut was not really cozy and comfortable. An almost completely bare room with a rough concrete floor about 4 m long and 2.5 m wide. There was a continuous wooden bench about 40 cm wide along the long walls and the rear transverse wall. Of course, it is not intended as a regular hostel either

It poured buckets all evening and half the night. I was already starting to worry if the small river next to the campsite might swell and overflow its banks. But I was neither woken up in the night by rolling tidal waves, nor did the little river look any different in the morning than it had the evening

Bellingham is quite busy for how small and remote it is. There are several pubs and various shops, including the last supermarket along the Pennine Way, where many stock up for the coming days.
The morning is grey, but according to the forecast, rain is not expected until the afternoon. The backpack

The Sill is actually the visitor centre of Northumberland National Park, which stretches north from Hadrian's Wall to the Scottish border. There is an exhibition and a souvenir shop, and they offer events on various topics. The youth hostel is in the same building and has taken over the name. All very

I was surprisingly awakened by the gentle patter of fine raindrops on the taut tent fabric. The weather forecast knew nothing about that. Deep, heavy clouds moved over the hills, gracing the land with small, misty showers every quarter of an hour. My motivation to get up suffered moderate damage. Couldn

The Garrigill Village Hall Campsite is ultimately just a small meadow behind the small village hall in the middle. £15 is not exactly the cheapest rate, but you can use almost the entire building, especially the kitchen. It is equipped almost like a professional catering kitchen, presumably to be ready

Abends war ich noch kurz auf ein Bier im Pup, The Stag Inn. Die haben auch warme Küche. Abendessen muss man jedoch vorbestellen und einen Tisch reservieren, was ich beides nicht gemacht hatte. Als ich gegen 19:00 Uhr zurück zu meinem Zelt lief, strömten mir die ganzen Leute aus dem Wohnwagenpark entgegen

Today's text will be short. I'm pretty wiped out. Today's stage was the longest of the tour so far and hopefully will remain so. Unfortunately, there's no sensible way to split this stage unless you want to take a real relax day and allow yourself an extra day for the entire hike.
I got up an hour earlier

Im höchsten Pub Großbritanniens zu dinieren, wollte ich mir auf keinen Fall nehmen lassen, wenn ich nun schon mal hier war. Aufgrund der speziellen Location sind die Preise natürlich auch nicht die günstigsten, aber auch nicht so schlimm, dass man zweimal überlegen müsste. Die Atmosphäre war trotzdem

Unlike yesterday, the Pennine Way today led me almost exclusively again on narrow footpaths through the lonely mountain wilderness. In the morning, everything was still wet. It had rained a little bit every now and then throughout the night. But now the strong summer sun was laughing between the white

Der Sonntagmorgen wartete mit grauem, wolkenverhangenem Himmmel und kurzen Nieselschauern auf. Eine Regenpause nutze ich, im fix den Kocher anzuschmeißen und mir heißes Wasser für einen Kaffee zu machen. Gefrühstückt wird vorrangig im trockenen Zelt. Trotzdem finde ich es sehr lobenswert, dass auf dem

Im Hostel gab's ein All-You-Can-Eat Frühstücksbuffet. Ob das jetzt so eine gute Idee war, sich vor der Wanderung den Wanst derartig vollzuschlagen? Andererseits hätte ich einigen Sachen sowieso nicht widerstehen können, frisches Obst, Butter und Joghurt zu Beispiel. Das sind Lebensmittel die aufgrund

Today's 6th stage on the Pennine Way, for a change, did not lead across the wild, untamed moorland at all, but stayed down on cultivated land. A mix of sun and clouds in the sky greeted me as I crawled out of the tent. I took my time, read a bit more in the hiking guide while sipping my coffee, before

All die Wanderungen in fernen Gefilden verblassen, angesichts des besonderen Schmankerls, welches das Wanderjahr an diesem Wochenende bereithält. Eine der inzwischen legendären Meyer'schen Staffelwanderungen kitzelt die Wandererehre, verursacht dieses leichte, ungeduldige Zucken in Füßen und Knien, weckt
