Pennine Way Challenge 2010
Friday July 09, 2010 to Sunday July 11, 2010
The Pennine Way National Trail, stretches 268 miles, chasing the Pennine Mountain tops along the rugged backbone of England, from the Peak District through the Yorkshire Dales and over Hadrian's Wall to the Cheviots. Our challenge is based in the Peak District.
It is easy to see why the Peak District National Park is the second most visited national park after Mount Fuji in Japan. Standing at the crossroads of Britain between the highlands and the lowlands, with it’s leafy limestone dales and contrasting wide open gritstone moors, the Park is a paradise for naturalists, geologists, walkers 
and anyone who wants to escape the city.
Based at the Youth Hostel in Castleton the planned walks (22km on Day 1 and 15km on Day 2) will involve 2 circular walks, first to the North around Edale and then to the South and West of our accommodation, both days taking in the dramatic and varied scenery of the unique Dark Peak area of the National Park.
This challenge is moderately demanding but can be achieved by someone with an average level of fitness.
