The Pennine Way


 Well we’ve  managed to plan it finally and 2024 Charity walk is on. After some very stressful times over the recent years with Mental Illness causing a huge upheaval to our families lives and also losing some close friends to it we have decided to support MIND. 

To make it dog friendly we will have to go off route a few times but return each day so the complete Pennine way along the central mountains of England, the Pennines and the Cheviots is done. The extra miles will mean we are walking  about 450km (280miles) From Edale in Derbyshire Peak District to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland borders. 

12,000 meters of ascent which is approx 9 x Ben Nevis. 🙈

Training begins now I just hope we’ve  not bitten of more than I can do as we are not getting any younger and a have few old injuries but doing it in 17 days 

As you can see Jane, Kirsty and I have done 2 long walks for Charity before and had incredible support hopefully we can go somewhere close to matching that support. We’ve done nothing this challenging before. 

We will personally fund the challenge so 100% of monies raised will go to charity. 

All details will be circulated later in the  year it’s too soon to worry about now. ❤️
