I rarely know what to expect when I set off on an adventure and my trip to the Peak District and Derbyshire in the United Kingdom was no different. I must admit, I may have held a slight prejudice in thinking that UK wouldn't quite compare to the exotic beauty of other locations, but man was I wrong. I was constantly surprised at the amount of natural beauty and stunning views to be found along the Pennine Way, Britain’s oldest and most challenging National Trail. Setting off from the Old Nags Head in Edale, and every step along the 268-mile long trail to Scotland, the trail had plenty of adventure.
There are so many charms to the Pennine Way, it was a pleasure to hike. The day that stands out to me the most was the day we hiked from Low Force Falls all the way to High Cup Nick. This 17-mile day had plenty of beauty, capped off by one of the most stunning campsites I've had the pleasure of camping at. The views there will stick with me for a long time.
Getting to climb on world-class grit stone was quite the experience. I can see why so many climbers migrate to the Peak District. Friendly locals, great local fare, caving at Alum Pot, and the opportunity to climb at Stanage was fantastic-Peak District & Derbyshire offers so much more than just great hiking and I hope you enjoy this episode of Trackin’ Dirt as much as I enjoyed my time in England!

The night you spent camped at the head of High Cup Nick. Myself and my mate passed by and had a short chat with you 2 guys. We remember you said you were making a film. We wild camped a little further round. One of us sleeping in a bivvy bag the other a henry shire tarp tent. We also woke up to that massive bank of fog that was in direct line with the valley. Nice film you guys made enjoyed it. Will have to do the pennine way someday.

Thanks for highlighting England's oldest trail to your followers. You should go to the Lake District if you're ever in England again. Truly magical place.

Well done for walking the pennine way, it's a long walk and you have managed to capture this beautiful landscape we call home 🏡

Fabulous. I loved the fact you revisited part of your past before heading off onto the Way. They gave it an almost pilgrim feel to it - you know friendships as well as far out experiences. Good going. Mark

I live near the Pennines and my ancestors owned and ran the Old Nags Head in Edale so I was really excited when it popped up at the beginning of the video!! Amazing cinematography 👏

I did it back in the mid 1990's. My abiding memory was all that mud and rain. Alfred Wainwright once wrote of it `"You won't find me on the Pennine Way. Ive had enough of it".

im in process of buying all the kit to start backpacking and this will be my first big goal once i learn all the skills to be safe is to walk this trail

I walked the pennine way when i was 15 years old and had a fantastic time. It took me and my buddies just over 2 weeks. I managed to get lost on the Cheviot but followed a stream down to a place called Wooler and the next day finished off properly at Kirk Yetholm. That was 41 years ago. Would love to do it again someday!

Not even close to the same distance but the Shropshire hills are a fantastic hike! Some of the most beautiful scenery and views in the UK!

"I'm basically hiking in the middle of a dense wet cloud." Yep that sums up my experience of the Pennine way so far. But when its dry its also a very beautiful area. Intresting video nice to see the other activities you can do like climbing and caving

@joeseago6837 5 лет назад

I think it's so cool that you get to do little side trips, like caving and rock climbing, as you hike these trails.

Really enjoyed the vid mate, can't believe you didn't include the Tan Hill Inn, Britains highest pub but pleased you called football by its correct title as in foot and ball. Thanks for your kind words about England mate. Make sure you get over to the English Wainwrights at some point. Thumbs up defo.

Great video of an area of beautiful scenery in the UK. I ran the Pennine Way about 20 years ago for charity, didn’t have time to take it all in. Would love to do it again and take my time this time!

The American presenting the program comments he's backpacked across the world yet he keeps mentioning that he didn't expect the English landscape to be so rocky and hilly?!!??!?!
