    And we're off - the Lycian way ....

    I don't know about any specific routes other than the one I walked. On a general note though, if you've got the time, just go for it. Turkey is fabulous everywhere. It's a massive country with a big heart, lots of diversity, with top food, friendly, helpful natives, tonnes of history, a great...

    Camino de Pennine Way! And we're off .....

    General musings on walking the Pennine Way. 1. The path is not generally marked out as well as e.g. a Camino, and in places is downright poor and misleading, although it is also adequate in many places. You will need a GPS track on ideally a GPS unit or your phone, or map and compass, or both...

    Camino de Pennine Way! And we're off .....

    Stage 18 Windy Gyle to Kirk Yetholm, 22 km, 8 hours Yesterday was a fabulous day, although when I tried to get up out of the tent, I got hit with really painful cramp in my right leg!! Lots of screams, leg rubbing, twisting and stretching and it went away. Ouch! What brought that on? The sunset...

    Stage 17 Bryness to Windy Gyle, 21.5 km, 8.5 hours I camped in the Garden at the Forest View Walkers Inn in Byrness. The food and facilities were excellent, and there's a nice bar and relaxing areas. That evening dinner was brilliant. Colin the host was friendly and helpful and made everyone...

    Stage 16 Bellingham to Bryness, 26km, 8 hours. Today was surprisingly knackering! The first half of the day is across stretches of boggy, soggy, wet moorland. It is slow going in places but the views are really fabulous, assuming the weather is good. At the end of four hours of moorland...

    Stage 15 The Sill to Bellingham, 28km, 8.5 hours The hostel at The Sill is really outstanding and modernist. Don't miss it! The weather was very bad when I woke up but according to the forecast, it should quickly improve after 9.00am, so am having a slow excellent breakfast and an even slower...

    Stage 14 Greenhead to The Sill, 12km, 6 hours (with visits and stops). What a great day! Although quite short, there are a lot of ups and downs as you walk along Hadrian"s Wall. I'm really glad I wasn't walking to Bellingham! By the time I got to the turn off for YHA hostel called The Sill (the...

    Stage 13 Alston to Greenhead, 26km, 8.5 hours (including about an hour waiting for the rain to stop). I set off at a leisurely 8.30am after a great breakfast at the fabulous and highly recommended and friendly Alston hostel. The next stage is frequently described as boring, a trudge through mud...

    Stage 12 Dufton to Alston, 33km, 10.5 hours After a rejuvenating stay in a Hobbit Hut for a few days, as well the Stag Inn of course, I felt ready to rock! Yesterday, I got a new rucksack, tent and Socks in Penrith, so am back to being flexible where I stay again. About 6.00pm last night...

    Camino de Pennine Way! And we're off .....

    Rest day in Dufton Yesterday, I felt really tired in the evening so took an executive decision to have a day off. The forecast was particularly bad, with heavy rain for much of the afternoon and evening. I also decided after trying and failing to sort out accommodation that I really needed to...

    Camino de Pennine Way! And we're off .....

    Thanks. It's a great walk, no doubt about it, but really hard work compared to the Caminos I've done. Some of the stretches are not just long but involve lots of ups and downs, some steep, through terrible weather, driving rain and wind, and with soggy feet. At the end of a day, you are...
