PENNINE WAY STORY Woke Up, Did Pennine Way A Walk to Windy Hill Truckin' on Down to Hebden Bridge Kicking Down the Cobblestones to Cowling (and Feelin' Groovy) All the Way to Malham Without Alliteration Anus Horribilis to Horton Horton to Hawes-Piece of Cake Over the Hill to Keld Off Path to Richmond Fair to Middleton Loitering Without Tent to Langdon Beck No Porn in the Pennines A Rubbery Room in Alston Lost Sheep and Shocks on the Way to Greenhead Full of Beans in Bellingham The Hounds of the Bynress Hotel Over the Wire Without the Aid of a Motorcycle | Pennine Way Story relates the tale of my epic, fun filled attempt to nearly walk the whole of the 268 mile national trail along the "backbone "of England. This is a very useful guide to all those who have already done the walk themselves or anyone planning to do it without the least bit of guidance. Pennine Way Story is the fault of George Tod whose excellent, extensive and informative web site, which I stumbled across a few years ago, gave me the idea of putting my own experiences on the net. All complaints, therefore, should be addressed to George.
