Day 12 of the Pennine Way was a rather boggy section from Alston to Greenhead. The sun was shining and it began with a stunning section of trail beside the river South Tyne. It then progressed to a boggy pathless slog but with light visible at the end of the tunnel... Hadrian's Wall was on the horizon.

Those bogs looked like hard work,as you said,best way is through them(not around them). So good that you had Lisa turning up now and again to boost your morale and having someone to accompany you on some of the days walking also good. By this stage of the walk you're really "on top of it" for sure.

I watch your trek every morning before I go off to work - it has helped me get through a couple of tough weeks. Mind is a charity close to my heart, thank you for choosing it!

This was definitely one of the hardest days on my Pennine way walk. Those bogs just keep on going. Glad your keeping your spirits up. Great work. Keep on plodding

Dean. "I have a cunning plan..." You could turn around at Kirk Yetholm and do the return leg... PW north to south. That way we wont have to go cold turkey after Saturday's episode of the 'Hobnob Bog Slog' Seriously, what are we to do without these to look forward to every morning!? I'm going to stock up on Hobnobs to help me through the withdrawal... :-)

What a great adventure! Really enjoying your truly inspiring videos each day and comparing the weather (and bog) conditions with when I did the same trek in 2017. Boggiest section yet to come I'm afraid but I'm sure you'll get through it. Good luck! ... and by the way, Hobnobs are great, but my snack of choice on a long walk is a Tunnock's caramel wafer. You will see one on your last day - watch out for it!!

Just bought the Cicerone book on Walking the Pennine Way and following the route you are taking, Dean, very interesting trying to pick up the various landmarks on the book's maps. Off to Tenerife in the morning so WiFi pending, will still be watching daily. Keep going.

I've just found these but they're really useful as I'm hoping to walk the PW in July and they give a great idea of the sort of terrain to expect- thanks so much

Loving your work brother, it's rare to watch anything on KZfaq that has no thumb's down look's like you've nailed it.

looking like you've nailed it mate your making it look far to easy . makes a big difference when things just fall into place like weather etc & not forgetting the backup crew of course. will be interesting to see if you do byrness to kirk yetholm in one go as your not carrying any wildcamping kit. best of luck.

Just wanted to say it's not selfish of you at all. Just being able to see the beautiful countryside every day is really wonderful for us. This is the highlight of my day.
