And I think I'm officially the 1000'th sub. Glad to have found the channel. Left the UK about 20 years ago and miss it so much. Lovely to see around the area again. Great video

Well done Anthony. Good to see you again. Like l said before matey, you can do this.

Take it easy Anthony, enjoy it, a great vid, looking forward to your daily vids, thanks

Grea to see you giving it a bash, wishing you all the best and a safe trip! 🙂👍

Well done 👍 you have a wonderful weekend

Hi Anthony great first day pleased you sound like no issues with your foot, wonderful views and build into the hike nice and steady and you will make it and have everlasting memories of this adventure all the best for the rest of the trip nigel

Well down Anthony, always best to make a start! Enjoyed the first video, gonna also enjoy bingeing through the rest. As the chant goes “Come On Anthony, Come On Anthony.” 🎶.

Good luck with the walk Anthony hope the foot holds out .

and your off !! excellent first day now that's out the way the nerves will disappear look forward to your updates m8 atb daz

A great start Anthony! I'll be trying to catch up over the next few days! Excited to watch your progress!

Glad to see you're on your way, Anthony. A shame and quite ironic to hear you suffering from plantar fasciitis so soon before the start. But I can see Day 2 has been uploaded and I'll be watching that next. Taking the long drive north myself tomorrow. All the best and I'll catch up when I can.

The very best of luck to you.

Hahaha Nonce now that’s Classic. Great videos I “tried” the PWay in May 1997, got as far as Haws and the weather was a heat wave, lack of water and a 25k pack I was unprepared for the walk tbh.I’ll try again one day.

Well done mate 👍👍👍👍 good luck with the rest of it. Once black hill is out the way the worst is over. Btw I was just up bleaklow the other day (amazing wild camp at bleaklow stones). I still got asked where the crash site was lol. But the best bit was on the Pennine way where two young women had turned back because there were “two fearless black rams blocking the path”…. They were just sheep lol

Just squeezed this in before we head to Scotland for 5 days, so will be way behind when I get back . Fingers crossed you remain injury free on the walk and I have been putting in a canny few shifts for Ben Nevis too. Sun glasses is always a good sign, breathlessness not as good lol but pacing is the best way to go. B&B would be the way I would do it too, sensible decision and I am going to have a lot to catch up on when I get back lol. Take care and the very best of luck!! Cheers Alan

Excellent Anthony. It's a shame I've a lot on this weekend as you'll be crossing my local moors in the next couple of days and I could've joined you for a few miles. Give my regards to White Hill and Blackstone Edge 😎. You seemed in good nick there on a tough first day. I think I said it before, my experience of the PW was that I got in better shape as it went on.....saying that, I was much younger then 🙄! Looking forward to Black Hill and beyond. Cheers, Chris

Good look Anthony, hope the plantar fasciitis easy off it keep it pleasurable, and bed and breakfast is a great way to go to rest it on a night

Well done

Well done Anthony and good luck, give it your best and thanks for sharing. If its any consolation I have set of several times usually with a bad knee but it always got better after a few days. 👏👍🍻

Good morning Mr Johnson, we will be keeping our fingers and toes crossed for you, very exciting! Bet with the thunder forecast it's been humid walking too 🥵 good work on the pacing tooand ice to see mermaids pool as that ominous weather hovered on the horizon! ⚡😬 Will keep our peepers peeled for videos, and support where we can, maybe post a tae bag or two ahead to tour next stops 🤭☕❤ Pleased that you are feeling on the up, good on you for getting out and starting the adventure! We will be egging you on as best we can, have a good day, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🤗💧

Go Anthony go, you can do it. atb Simon

Keep going Ant, enjoy it! At least you get away from the misery of watching Forest!

Hi Anthony, looks like you got off to a good start. Sorry to hear about the foot issue, Lauren had that recently and she's still lingering a little bit. Well done for day 1 😊

Anthony, would it be possible to do a video on how your prepared for the walk, how you choose your kit to use and things you would do differently now if you did the walk. Great videos and great info too.😊

Nice one Sir! Lot of love and respect from a solo mountain hiker from the Hindukush Mountains Chitral Pakistan.

Very nice. like

He's back! 🙌Great stuff Mr. Johnson. Looking forward to following the rest of your adventure! 🤓

I suggest get some Sure feet Innersoles for your Plantar Fasciitis, I struggled with it a few years ago and these innersoles the Blue ones did the trick and I don't suffer at all anymore - good luck with the rest of the journey - that is a new thing a sign post to the crash site, but still people will go hunting for it ill prepared in flip flops and a T-shirt in winter

The big day finally arrives! Glad you more or less beat the weather to your first stop👍 Hope the PF doesn't get any worse. I used to suffer from it when I did more running and found that firmly massaging the feet worked to loosen up the tendons. Best of luck Anthony!👍😊

Well done Anthony, looking forwards to your daily updates. Keep going and stay positive. 👍👊

Well done Anthony wishing you all the best for the epic adventure.

Hi Anthony! Wow great job 👏🏻 glad you have started your journey along the Penine Way. I really hope your foot doesnt give you any further issues along the way. Im sure you have touched Kinder Low Trig many a times anyway so walking pole definitely counts haha. If you feel more comfortable etc staying in bnb's then fair play. Its your adventure so you do it how you want 💯🙌🏻 Great to see the part of the route as ive done it a few times over the years near enough but ive got a train back down to Edale then lol, have never done the other sections so will be so interesting to see them! Then I need to kick myself up the bum and do it myself haha. Sorry you have been feeling down but hope this journey and being in the great outdoors will help uplift you. As you said you have gave it a go and thats the main thing!!! If you didnt even try you will always think; "I wonder if id have tried how would I have been..." etc. I will pray and keep my fingers crossed for you my friend 🙏🏼🤞🏻 Take care, get some rest and ill see you in the comments on Day 2 💪🏼💪🏼 ATB... Chris ✌🏼

Awesome! I hope that all goes to plan and you stay fit and healthy throughout. This is a great adventure and I am really looking forward to following your progress! ATB Greg

Onwards and Upwards Anthony good job and good luck for the rest of your mammoth journey 👍

Best wishes Anthony, look forward to your updates. Stay positive mate.

Great to see you on the way Anthony. I know how the planta might have made you feel. I've had a shin splint since March and it's taken my whole season out. Good that it got you to the inn. Enjoyed that end to end. Mark

The journey has started - Enjoy

I’ve been looking forward to seeing the start of your adventure & thru-hike. A tough trail. You got some good views from Kinder Scout. Planter fasciitis is quite tricky to manage & can be very sudden with its onset. I hope it doesn’t cause you too much of an issue going forward. Glad you made it the B&B with a cuppa on arrival. Take care & happy hiking 🥾

Well done Anthony. Normal to get the jitters before a big challenge like this. Also maybe u tube can add additional pressure in our minds but really people appreciate the journey if you make it or not (I almost said don’t be such an old woman but that’s not PC these days 😂). It’s great you are loading these every day I’ll look forward to watching each one and joining on your journey 👍🇬🇧😄

Such a fantastic day! Sure hope that all is going well and that the foot is holding up well! Keep the pace and stay positive! Amen, to just giving it a go...and making the best of it. Have yourself a wonderful weekend! Bruce and Otis

Wishing you well Anthony…had PF and it’s not nice.

Good to see you out again Anthony. I’ve been looking forward to this series of videos. I think you made the right decision to give it a go, otherwise you will always wonder “what if”. It’s not a race so just take it easy, I had similar concerns on the West Highland Way. Slowing down really made me appreciate the hike better rather than going off like a sprinter, which is what I would nor have done. I now hike slower on all my longer hikes and find it much more enjoyable. It was a good first day, well done and good luck with days 2,3, 4 etc., I hope your feet hold up. 🥾🥾🥾

Well done Anthony! Been looking forward to this one as I have never seen any of this part of the country. If I was doing it i would be staying in the b and b's too. Hope the foot dosent flare up and we can enjoy the entire journey. I think the nerves leading up to the start of your walk are normal! Cheers Paul

Good look Anthony atb Steve

Nice one Anthony, I hope the plantar doesn't flare up again. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you. 🤞🏻 No shame in using B&Bs and you'll be glad not to be camping out (assuming) last night in the thunder storm.

Awesome Anthony - glad to see you are out on trail. Am curious to watch your progress and am wondering if the trail is mostly exposed as this first day was ? Also, would be interested to see what you are packing out, since you aren't carrying a tent and such.

Assalamualaikum wrwb

Well done
