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 2024 - Day 11: Middleton-in-Teesdale Rest Day

Pennine Way 2024 - Day 11:  Middleton-in-Teesdale Rest Day  

Distance:  0.6 miles     Total:  164.12          Steps:  1,312

-------------------------

A bit of housekeeping, washing socks etc, a trip to the Co-op for supplies, and a successful search for somewhere to print off some more crosswords.. amazingly, I am still keeping them up to date. No library in Middleton, the Tourist agency is closed, but the Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Goup were very helpful.

It has been raining all afternoon and evening, and the weather for the next few days is looking very iffy indeed, with thunderstorms a possibility. Not sure if Cross Fell is the best place to be in such circumstances. At 893m (2930ft) it is the highest point in England, outside the Lake District. All I can do is keep an eye on things.. tomorrow should be OK, though walking down to Dufton is looking more sensible now than camping at High Cup Nick. After that, we shall have to see. 

The Teesdale Hotel is a very comfortable place to stay. Recommended.

  1. You are doing well to blog on the hoof, especially including photos. It's usually not easy and also time consuming when you have all the other chores to attend to.
