The Pennine Way, A lesson in failure

I enjoyed your

I did the whole thing solo in 2005. It’s as tough as any walk I’ve done including half a dozen long GRs in Europe. The first couple of stages are hard….and so are a lot of the others (depending on the weather). Keep strolling.

It's been fifty years since I did the same walk, no gps in those days I had to rely on map and compass often in atrocious weather. I remember the peat bogs.

Thinking of doing part of the route myself, (Manchester based) but also feel the same about doing it solo with nobody in my circle.

Your view about the stripped back countryside is true but too simplistic. If our ancestors had not stripped the countryside back for livestock and agriculture the population would not have been able to grow. In short, you would probably not be here to grumble about it. Choices are rarely simplistic. Best wishes out there.
