My Pyrenees HRP Diary - Introduction

This blog was begun in 2015, to record my walk along the Pyrenees HRP from Hendaye to Banyuls. If you want to read about that, I suggest you start here.

But that is all in the past now, and I have expanded the blog a little to cover more recent events.. such as:

Pennine Way 2024
Snowdonia Way 2017
Hebden Bridge 2015
Equipment Reviews
North Downs Way 2017
Pennine Way 2019

I hope you will find something interesting. Please do provide a little feedback or comment, and if you are interested in something that I didn't say enough about, please let me know .. happy walking!

Pennine Way day 15: Hebden Bridge rest day

Tuesday 24 September 2019
Miles:  1.4 miles in Hebden, not added to total
Total miles: 226.0

For only the second time since I set off, it has rained solidly all day. The big difference this time is that I have decided not to walk today.. so I can sit and watch it rain with some complacency, and hope for better weather tomorrow. The photo gallery is a bit thin of course,  I will look through the ones I have taken so far and pick a couple of unpublished favourites, perhaps.
I will be staying in my tent for the next two nights before finishing in Edale on Friday, so I have been to the Co-op to do a bit of food shopping. The Co-op has a virtual monopoly here in the North. In Alston there was a Spar at the local petrol station as well as a Co-op, and I asked which was best.  The lady said "Most people use the Co-op, because it's the Co-op." Brand loyalty, or what?

First, a video.. (!) but note that I got the order wrong. It is Pen-y-Ghent, then Ingleborough, then Whernside ..



Hebden Bridge, a nice little town even in the rain


This Is a view down towards Dufton, from the top of Cross Fell 

And this is a view across the Cheviot Hills, from near Auchope Cairn, in a rare moment between clouds..
