Pennine Way 2019 - Day 8 - Hawes to Tan Hill

[@gusbloke5934]

Its not about how many times or how hard you fall Dean, its how you get back up. Believe me mate, you're smashing it!

[@sunshine-nu1df]

Fitzcarraldo, skyfall, rockers. Failure was in the mind. Rescuing your feet was a success! Thank you for taking us along your roller coaster Dean. What a journey! Until tomorrow, Atb, Tim

[@Tuggers1986]

Interstellar soundtrack MUST be in that top three Dean. It’s absolutely incredible

[@Martycycleman]

Another great one Dean. You've got an Angel there.

[@DeanRead]

This one was a particularly momentous day, a small mental barrier overcome. A lot has changed in my life since 2019, makes it hard to watch these videos sadly but it doesn't take away from how great the trip was. Lots of new Pennine Way memories have been made since and lots more to come with my new job

[@mikemcloughlin883]

Really enjoying the pennine way series..looks a great adventure....thanks for sharing.

[@ianpark1805]

I discovered your excellent videos when having a nostalgic wallow recalling my own trip up the Pennine Way - it looks from the dates of your postings that you were a couple of weeks behind us. This particular video really chimed, as I too was trying to lay he ghost of previous PW disasters and failures. I left it a bit later than you as I’d failed over forty years previously. We made it! I don’t do You Tube pieces but I printed up my journals into a small memoir called ‘Losing The Monkey’ because, in part at least, it was about shaking the monkey of those previous failures off my back! And I’d have something for posterity to say “oh he did it, he wasn’t a complete klutz after all!” Looking forward to watching you complete the trail. ‘Full Charlie Boorman’ is a real thing, hopefully avoided!

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Ian, I often look back at the videos to remind me of what a great adventure it was. We were back in Hawes and camped at Hardraw this weekend. We ran from Horton in Ribblesdale via Pen-y-ghent back to Hardraw. I have another big challenge coming up in a week or so, I know I have the fitness but it will be the mental side if the weather turns that will be the real test. Hopefully there will be no 'Charley Boorman' moments 🤣🤣 Thanks again for watching and commenting

[@bobbyshafto3259]

Upper Wensleydale is fantastic,camped at nearby Bainbridge Ings many times. I was chuffed to bits when you went beyond Thwaite (I need to explore Swaledale and visit the farm of The Yorkshire Shepherdess). Sometimes I need a motivational tune to get me through a particularly difficult part of a long walk and find that music certainly helps . The soundtrack from "Rob Roy" by Capercaillie (Celtic band),though mellow,fits the bill for me. I greatly admire your determination to "push on" and succeed alone,especially after the last time,because when you're 6 years older it would be much easier to "throw in the towel". It looked like 17 miles of pure bliss to me.

[@mikemcloughlin883]

Watching for the 2nd time round your series, always a joy mate.....love everything about it. Thanks for sharing..

[@DeanRead]

Thank you Mike, it was a trip I'll never forget

[@pauljohnson9347]

Well done for passing your 2013 point. It's not a failing but a learning curve and 2019 is the year you put them to good use. Always a little further. 👍

[@adriannorthyorks.470]

That's more like it Dean, we have a great story line, stunning scenery, a hero who cracks on regardless and now Lisa to bring some glamour to proceedings :) Perfect

[@anthonyrobinson5694]

Happy memories of both 1976 and 1986 when I completed the PW first going North, the second going South.

[@wartimetom3871]

First of all thank you so much for the videos , me and my 8 year old son have been following your videos everyday for the last fourteen day’s as of tomorrow and we have our final stretch to bowes tomorrow from thwaite . It’s been my lifelong dream to do the whole pennine way with my dad but he passed away eighteen months ago , so I decided to take my son and do the south part , we would of loved to of camped it but under current rules we have stuck to day tripping it . South Pennines finished tomorrow but we will finish it all when campsites reopen . Big thx to my wife the support team tho for dropping and picking up etc and big thx to you Dean your videos helped us through the way 👍🏻✌🏻

[@davidsavage3656]

We need a Spotify playlist for the songs of the day. Inspiring stuff Dean and watching and following every day. Go go go! Best movie soundtrack: The Fountain by Clint Mansell

[@jenniferbailey44]

Lovely to share this stage in your journey with you. 17 miles is a long way over that terrain! Big achievement well done!

[@danielgornall5643]

Hi Dean come across Pennie way adventure today while avoiding work in the rain watch 8 days so far what the heck think I'll stay in the van and watch the rest did the Pennine Way in 1976 with my dad didn't complete it but came back I completed in 1979 find up my dad who is the Silver Surfer told him look it up on watch you bringing back great memories must say the path looked easier now

[@petermitchell7799]

Had to call it a do at tann hill in 1996 took me till 2006 to have another successful attempt then n to s in 2008 . Brought back great memories👍 Great record of your pw.

[@davetaylor5501]

6 minutes in and I'm thinking 'this should be on tv'. I think i found you through Haze outdoors and the rest is history as they say, great videos Dean

[@GsySaxMan]

The first time I have ever made a comment on all the YT vids I have watched, Dean you are an inspirational guy and have helped me to make my mind up about tackling the PW challenge next year. Thanks buddy, it begins now.....

[@MrJan50]

More excellent viewing from an excess of fresh air around 6 minutes to reflections on the past. Success and failure are rarely black and white. None of us stands a chance when the natural world decides to be aggressive so stopping because of adverse weather or sheer exhaustion is probably the sensible thing to do even if you do beat yourself up afterwards. Seems to be an increasing interest in the relationship between mental health and the natural world. Glad you touched upon it. And the music from 'Cal' by Mark Knopfler and the theme from 'Texas' by Ry Cooder.

[@almontepaolilli4909]

Favorite soundtracks are: Godfather, Jaws and aliens. I remember on the 2013 walk that you had trouble with your feet. You are taking better care of yourself and allowing Lisa to help. Good luck the next few days as it is all downhill from here. Godspeed.

[@mozfest]

Another great video Dean. Watched this morning and I’ve been thinking about my top 3 soundtracks all day! No decisions yet. You also raise a really important point about mental ‘wellness’. Agreed that blokes don’t always feel able to talk about things that may be affecting them. Admirable that you talk about your experience. Pleased for you that you passed such an important milestone. ATB, Ian.

[@justrunning]

Lots of the rings, gladiator and kingdom of heaven.

[@DeanRead]

Great choices 👍

[@markkendall9167]

Well done Dean - you're going really well. Been enjoying your progress whilst on holiday in the US !

[@mickmears9151]

Well done Dean, glad to see you've cracked the "Thwaite barrier", hope you can enjoy todays stretch to Middleton, I found this to be my worst day three years ago doing PW. Mentally exhausting, then obviously that led to being shattered physically. Just a one off day, hope you have a good day. Keep up the good work

[@morturn]

Well done Dean, an important milestone passed. Looking forward to tomorrows instalment

[@shirleyc285]

Really admire your effort Dean. Been enjoying these vids.

[@MarkTayloroutdoors]

Great video mate, congratulations on passing your 2013 exploits 😎💪🏻💪🏻 As for movie soundtracks, I’d definitely have gladiator and lord of the rings in my top 3 Thanks for sharing Atb Mark

[@gazgazmag4729]

Thanks Dean for another great video.

[@DeanRead]

Thanks again for watching Gaz 👍😎

[@3WalkingPoles]

After your references to LOTR I'm joining Dean Read's Fan-club. :) Great day you had - congratulation on passing half-way point. Wish you similar day today.

[@DeanRead]

Haha 😎👍 LOTR is amazing, love the book and the film's. Thanks for watching Sebastian

[@dannyevos]

Another great day for your venture. I am doing bits of the Pennine Way so will select the best bits from your trip like the look of this section!!!! Got to say Kinder is my favourite bit so far.......Keep the spirits up and good look on the second half!!!

[@robs3317]

Great video again mate...been waiting for this one..i enjoyed this stretch when I walked it in 20133..thanks! Keep it up!

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Robert, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. I was tired at the end of it :-)

You did not fail you lost the battle not the war great vid bren

[@nicolaj665]

Really love your videos. They are so inspiring and relaxing (well for me that is!!!)

[@DownHillCol]

Legendary, fantastic, awesome, incredible, superb achievement Dean 💪👍 as your well aware these challenges really mess with your head, so to see you in this frame of mind at this point of the journey is great to see, and really must spur you on to reach your goal. It’s made me think of a few challenges that I’d started and never finished, so I need to get them ticked off! The Welsh 3000s is defo going to the top of that list. Cheers buddy and look forward to the next 8 or so days 👍

[@Dorset_Phil]

Impossible for me to pick a top 5 movie soundtracks, Ennio Morricone is a genius and i love everything from a fist full of dollars, a few dollars more, the good the bad and the ugly through to the mission. Then you have the Bond films, The Italian Job, Purple Rain, Quadrophenia, Bohemian Rhapsody, Trainspotting and the Godfather. Probably the one i listen to the most would be Pulp Fiction, closely followed by Snatch. Great subject to ponder on a walk!

[@windyg5236]

Excellent once again Dean we all have a milestone to achieve glad you got through one of yours.👍

[@trishhughes2750]

Huge congratulations for passing the nemesis 👍🏻😁👍🏻.. loving your journey so far Dean and love the videos, Thankyou for sharing your journey with us x

Love the video blogs Dean. Now I’ve no need to ever attempt the Penine Way now I’ve seen the blog! My wife and I own a coffee shop in Kelso, The Cream Chimneys, which is not too far from the end of the Penine Way, about 7 miles from Yetholm. If you get chance call in! (Were not there Tuesday or Wednesday!. Good luck. Wayne.

[@Dr.D00p]

Don't know about top 3 OST's, Just so many, but a song thats been used in lots of films is 'Ends of the Earth' by Lord Huron. Perfect song for a long trek like this. Lyrics: Oh, there's a river that winds on forever I'm gonna see where it leads Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted I'm gonna stand on the peakOut there's a land that time don't command Wanna be the first to arrive No time for ponderin' why I'm-a wanderin' Not while we're both still aliveTo the ends of the earth, would you follow me There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see To the ends of the earth, would you follow me If you will have a say my goodbyes to meOh, there's an island where all things are silent I'm gonna whistle a tune Oh, there's a desert that size can't be measured I'm gonna count all the dunesOut there's a a world that calls for me, girl Headin' out into the unknown Well if there are strangers, and all kinds of danger Please don't say I'm going aloneTo the ends of the earth, would you follow me There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see To the ends of the earth, would you follow me Well if you want, I will say my goodbyes to meI was a-ready to die for you, baby Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay What good is livin' a life you've been given If all you do is stand in one placeI'm on a river that winds on forever Follow 'til I get where I'm goin' Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try I guess I'm goin' alone

Congratulations. You didn't fail. you made a tactical retreat and are now back on the attack. “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” - Lyndon B. Johnson. Film Theme wise, can't fault your choices, but would add to mine:- Lawrence of Arabia, The Dambusters, The Battle of Britain and Out of Africa.

[@paulminton]

Morning Dean. Thanks for the videos. You have inspired many if my trail/fell running routes from watching your videos and nicking your routes. My movie albums (maybe not score but songs from the film's which make a great compilation) I'd recommend would be Jackie Brown, Collateral, and Drive. Scratch that. Any Rocky song lol. 😁😁😁

[@DeanRead]

Haha you couldn't fail to be motivated by the Rocky soundtrack. I'll check out your other favourites too. Thanks for watching

[@TheBeard82]

Doing well Dean!! What about "The Last of the Mohicans"

[@turbostream7925]

Glad you made it past the previous turn around point 👏 you do yourself an injustice as you successfully completed the Hadrians wall coast to coast if you remember 😉 That 1st leg remains my longest walk, a heel injury has put paid to long walks so now its a bike from now on. Onwards to the finish Dean.

[@plastic_manc]

very pleasant for my ears Dean :) as I have my earplugs in :)

[@kevintynan796]

Well done on your achievement and for addressing the mental attitude and approach necessary to achieve your goal. Sports psychology is all about conquering are innermost fears.....Soundtracks.... Vangelis, Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire. Mark Knopfler Cal.

I still keep watching these Pennine way videos 3 times over at least, I like adagio in g minor film soundtrack for platoon film.

Thanks Paul, it was an adventure that I'll remember forever. I'm loving the Interstellar soundtrack at the moment

[@carolinesmyth127]

Sorry, meant to congratulate you for passing the point you couldn't get beyond back in '13... My youngest daughter and her husband have been to see Hans Zimmer, I think it's three times now, maybe two, and they already have their tickets for the next one. She also loves to write music. Her husband bought her Cebalius (is that how it's spelt?) software for Xmas last year. What a lucky girl she is. As is her husband, a lucky boy. So nice to see couples still loving after many years of being together eh ❤ Wishing you the same for you and your lovely partner Lisa. Enjoy your walk today. It's cold now but apparently it's gonna warm up later. Laterz :)

[@DeanRead]

Thanks Caroline, it was good to get past that point. I can put it all behind me now... Well I can when I / if I get to the end :-) haha. Would love to see Hans Zimmer, saw tickets got up but we've been doubled booked the last few times he's come near to us.

[@plastic_manc]

I did Blencathra walk yesterday and traveling up north was thinking where are You on the track :)

[@DavidHartley88]

"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

[@meikusje]

Top 3: - Lord of the Rings (don't really care which one, but I guess Fellowship of the Ring, because it introduces you to that iconic theme) - The Breakfast Club - Birds of Prey I'm not a huge music buff or anything, so these are just a few that have stuck with me, I'm not going to die on a hill defending them against other soundtracks. Jurassic Park should also get an honorable mention, I think. I picked Birds of Prey over Jurassic Park because I listen to the BoP soundtrack regularly, but in terms of iconicness (that's not a word), Jurassic Park wins. Anyway, really loving this series! I already wanted to walk the Pennine Way, but now I'm even more sure ☺️

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching and for your top 3. I'll have to check out Breakfast Club & Birds of Prey, always looking to find new music to enjoy. Hope you decide to tackle the Pennine Way, it's such a great adventure.

[@michaelthorpe9593]

Just watching you drop down into Thwaite; no spoiler as to whether you get Zt tan hill! Re pronunciation of place names, try to guess how the locals pronounce Grassington? Gerston

[@DeanRead]

Madness isn't it. Pronunciation of local place names is a mine field :-) how are we supposed to get that from Grassington haha 😂

[@TheInterflex]

Kirkby, originally meant church I believe, or the Kirk part did. I’ve always pronounced Kirkby Steven with the second K, much to the consternation of the locals when I’ve been there, but then again I live in KirKby-in-Ashfield which has the second K. Best of luck Dean.

[@arunsharma-dx4yn]

I thought the halfway point was Baldersdale just North of the A66/Stainmore Gap not Hawes. Wainwright [bless him] also agrees with me.

[@paulflannigan276]

Yo Dean, not thwarted in Thwaite, congrats ☺

[@MiddleAgeManAdventures]

Really enjoying these - I know it’s been some years since you did this trek. I can see many signs in the VT but how well signed generally is the Way ?

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching, the Pennine Way is reasonably well signed but you will 100% need a route map/guide. In places there are no signs at all especially up in the Cheviots
