Hi Dean
We are the family you met at Kinder Low. It was so lovely to meet you and a lovely surprise seeing ourselves on the channel and hearing your lovely comments.
We look forward to following you every day on your PW journey.
You have been so inspirational to us as a family getting us out on to the Peaks.
All the very best Brian, Sarah, Harriet, Jack & Sylvie (Weimaraner)
That was great! Brought back some memories of 1973 when I walked the Pennine way. The first day was a big one. When we got onto the top before reaching Kinder scout there was a fog so thick that you could not see a person more than eight foot in front of you. There was no paved path and we had to take a compass bearing and walk across the bog through the fog towards Kinder scout for about half a mile. It was nerve wracking because we thought we might walk off a cliff any moment. Then in the middle of all the black bog we found a shallow sandy stream, with fine golden yellow sand. So we followed the stream which took us straight to Kinder Scout waterfall. On the other-side there was no fog and so we motored down the path. We found out later that four other people had been lost the previous day in the fog and the search and rescue were sent to find them.
Thanks for watching Richard, the Pennine Way has certainly changed in places over the years. Still a tough walk and a great challenge
That moment you realise your favourite TH-camr is going to upload 15 days of content 😁!!! Awesome stuff Dean, I can't wait!
Im doing it next week. Seeing the beautiful Weimaraner made me smile. I'll be taking mine, Holsten, complete with his saddle bags.
Hope you are having a great Pennine Way adventure. I’ve just done Hardraw to Kirk Yetholm on the Spine Race… currently lazing / relaxing in the Border Hotel… enjoy
Good luck looking forward to seeing the adventure unfold
Looking forward to the series...hope you can complete the whole walk mate ! Good luck !
Good to see you back Dean. This looks like its going to be an epic journey, looking forward to the next instalment.
Great Video Dean...looking forward to sharing your journey. Best of luck.
Well done, Dean, look forward to the next episode!
Started watching this excellent series of videos as research for doing PW in June 2023. Apparently the old house B&B is now permanently closed (so we are looking to crack on to the campground in Crowden)
Thanks for watching Kevin, yeah I'd heard it had closed which is a real shame and limits options in that area now. Good luck with your trip planning and I hope the videos help. Let me know if I can help further
Mate, this is massively useful to me. So grateful you put this up. I am racing the Montane Spine Challenger in 3 weeks (Edale to Hawes) and this really helps me do a complete recce! Cheers Luke
Glad to have you back with regular uploads mate! 👍👏😁 I still watch the classics
Another great video as always good luck on your LDW looking for forward to watching finish the hike mate 😎👍🏾
Brilliant Dean, I have wanted to do the Pennine Way for ages so will be nice to watch you do this on the go. Best of luck to you. Cheers Ant 👍
Lovely meeting you on trail yesterday Dean so I've come to check out your channel. You are far too modest about your adventures. Loved this video, looking forward to following your journey as I walk the same path 🤨
Ah great stuff, rather looking forward to these!! You had slightly better weather that I did last month when I headed up from Torside Reservoir to Bleaklow!!
Good luck with it all.
Wow this does look very interesting Dean I will be watching all of the videos and looking forward to them.
Great start to what I’m sure will be an amazing few weeks. Really looking forward to following you on your journey Dean. Good luck.
Thanks for watching Ian. About to start day 3 👍🌧️
This is going to be a awesome series Dean good luck buddy can’t wait for the next one
Good luck , can't wait for the next exciting episode 😀
Awesome! 15 days or so worth of content 👍
Alll the best Dean on this adventure.
Great stuff. Looking forward to the daily updates. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to you.
Hi Dean been watching your vids for several years now and really enjoy them I’m really looking forward to this Trail atb mate I hope you succeed this time cheers Glenn
Enjoyed that vid looking forward to rest of them
So hyped for the next ~15 days of scenery and your insightful commentary! Good luck with it all, you'll smash it I'm sure :D
Great to see this, brings back memories, I ran from Illam to Marsden over 2 days. March 2019 wind, rain, hail, snow, ice and boiling sun 😂 great adventure
I saw you start your trip... knew from the gear there would be a TH-cam video. Glad I found it, great content. Good luck mate.
Inspirational series on the Pennine Way. Thanks Dean.
Thanks for watching David
look forward to seeing the rest of your hike
Now this is a nice suprise and video's to look forward to. I do hope you get the fine weather and have a wonderfull adventure. Atb.
Dean, finished watching your Pennine Way videos and really enjoyed them. I too am planning to hike the Pennine Way as a result of it defeating me on my last attempt 50 years ago at the age of 16. I has been on my bucket list for 50 years. I also loved team Hobnob. I lived in England for 5 years and without a doubt McVities digestive biscuits were my favorite. They will be on our Pennine Way hike. Thanks for your journey.
Excellent, I wish you all the best for your Pennine Way adventure Mike. My the power of the HobNobs carry you safely to your destination 😁
Great stuff mate, I have every faith you will complete this time 😎
Looking forward to watching the journey unfold.
Best of luck and thanks for sharing
Atb Mark
Great to see this, bring back memories of my own 2019 adventure, running from Illam to Marsden in March. Wind, rain, hail, snow, ice and boiling sun. Definitely a great run
Thanks for watching. That sounds like a fun route and typical conditions for March 👍🤣
@@DeanRead yeah, slipping off the path knee deep into ice water, such a joy 😂
Sounds perfect, wishing I was doing that instead of working today 🤣
@@DeanRead I ran 13 of the national parks and camped through each. Missed Cairngorm and Snowdonia due to weather. Amazing adventure though. I'm out of action until next year but have some big plans
Excellent, hope you can get back to Snowdonia and Cairngorms 👍
I haven't missed the music on this one, Dean. I think it's fantastic that you'll be able to upload as you go - although I imagine that might become harder once you're camping. All the very best with your journey. I'll certainly be following along.
You can do anything you put your mind to do. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years and know you can do this.
Do not worry about the music - the video is perfect. It's good to hear surrounding. Good luck on the trail - good to see you hiking.
I have just done one of your favorites. Hayfield up William Clough the Downfall and back down to Hayfield. I was up Torside last week Wild boar Clough etc.. Your TH-cam vids have helped me out and inspired me know end. Enjoy your wander and good luck.....
Looking forward to this!
My one and only try at the Dales Way around 1980 also ended early due to bad weather. Had to get picked up at Sedburgh and to this day I've the urge to go back to Sedburgh and finish the walk. One day (maybe inspired by your brilliant videos Dean, keep em coming!)
Watching this with interest! Go on lad.
Like the video and your easy-going way of commenting. Keep it up.
Well I never missed the music on the video, 🤣. Enjoyable as it is. 👍 good luck.
I agree with the others - these videos will be something to look forward to. Good luck with the walk.
Nice one Dean - All the comforts ! :-)
Good luck buddy it’s not an easy walk at all, have a great time and make the most of it. Was reading a book about a guy that walked the PCT in America and that really puts things into perspective, a lot of these challenges are all in the head. You will smash this I have no doubt 👍
good luck on your trip mate
Smashing been waiting for this my inspiration after quitting smoking 9 months ago and getting out and fit .
Cheers,this is fantastic. I've done Edale to Marsden twice and Marsden to Edale thrice,with my brother and a small rucksack apiece so we could do it in a day. Wonderful ,top-quality video,I'll be watching lots more. Inspirational ! !
Thanks again for watching, I really enjoyed my journey along the Pennine Way. Looking forward to more adventures on the PW in 2022
Best of luck, I’m with you in spirit.
Hi dean good to have you back looking forward to this trip bring it on lol take care dean atvb chris
Good going Dean. Nice on top and a bit of luxury down below. Mark
Cracking mate, looking forward the series.:-)
Atb Mike
Good to see you back on home turf Dean. Good luck , hope you make (or made it?) all the way to the end
b&b deffo the way to go mate.i have to admit the 1st time I attempted it with a 65 litre pack bursting to the seams would have crippled me before the end. look forward to the rest of your journey especially at my end like cross fell & the cheviots. enjoy your half at the border hotel. atb.
Very excited for this. I planned to do the way, I got to Crowden and had some severe foot pain and had to stop. Fortunate you can get the national express straight back to Nottingham from there
Brings back memories when I attempted the PW, best of luck.
Beautiful
Mate your Pennine way videos are brilliant!...I'm doing it solo in April and wild camping the whole route, found your videos to be very informative.
Thanks for watching Mike, good luck with your trek in April. I wild camped the first attempt, lots of great places along the way
Awesome dude 👍
Just found these - amazing. I walked the Pennine Way in 1979 on leaving school, and have always wanted to repeat it. Now I’m in Australia in the world’s lockdown capital and am starting to make tentative plans to walk it again next year, COVID travel restrictions permitting. It looks as though the paths across the Peak District have been improved considerably - when I walked it there was risk of getting stuck in the bottomless peat bogs of the first few days. Very interested to “walk” the route vicariously, it really is whetting my appetite to get out of lockdown and get going!
Thanks for watching. The path has been improved a lot over recent years, if you can call the flagstone path an improvement which I feel you can. It's made some of the boggy sections much easier to tackle. I hope you have a great time when you come over to walk the route again. All the best, Dean
I have walked this section of the Pennine Way two or three times, the last being in 1973. The path looks more like a paved road now, even over Bleaklow! I seem to remember that the Jacob's Ladder section at the beginning was the "alternative route" back then and we got up on to Kinder Scout by another path. We used the handwritten "A Wainwright" guides - anyone remember them?
Good luck with the walk dean so we are going to be blessed with 15 videos in 15 days enjoy and stay safe mate atvb jimmy 😎 😎
This gonna be good - i have done the first 5 stages as day walks. Would love to do more :)
Top effort Dean lad. On my to do list with the c2c, need to pull my finger out - not getting any younger!
Excellent vid
Outstanding achievement really enjoyed the watch
From a Nottingham lad on the isle of wight
Really wonderful. Just working my way through these. We're moving back to England (Stockport) in a few months (fingers crossed) and this is definitely on my list.
Thanks for watching Daniel, hope the you have a great time when you tackle the PW. I'd love to do it again.
Good on ya mate and good luck with the journey I'll be with you in spirit lol. ATB Coops 👍🏻🍻
A little late on commenting mate, but wishing you very happy trails. Was good walking the Pennine Way with you back in 2013 and know you'll smash it this time 🙂
I did some wild camping up in the bleak low just off the Pennine trail magnificent views , then went off trail to try my navigational skills using the map and compass across the open moorland and ended up in HADFIELD ! But it was not an easy trek ,what may seem like open moorland becomes difficult terrain due to steep ravines scrambling through marshland and rocky ridges with bracken up to waste height …
Good stuff bro
Keep going Dean,its a brilliant blog/vlog your doing,if you have accommodation Tan hill recommended the breakfast good hearty food, was there last Oct half term ,walking threw to Dufton.
Brilliant mate, inspired me to want to do it. I was thinking because of time limitations to maybe do it stages and maybe 3 nights at a time with some wild camping in between .
Just watching this series for the second time Dean. First saw it last year prepping for my first PW. Already planning to do it again next year. You should join our FB group Pennine Way walkers 👍🏻
Videos like this tend to give the impression that the Pennine Way is a nice gentle stroll through pleasent scenery, Well It ain't. If you're not already pretty damn fit and prepared, in places it's a real ankle, knees and back destroyer of a walk, especially if you're not fully self sufficient and need to walk at a pace to ensure you make it to your accomodation each day.
It took me and my brother almost 10 hours to do this section a few years back... We packed way too much for a two day hike (camped) and learnt a valuable lesson about pack weight.
You will never know how pleased I was to hear you say that you would be unable to add (bugger up) your video by adding - music. The visuals are the easy part, choosing appropriate music is a gift, denied to all but a vanishingly small few who have the aesthetic sensitivity and good taste needed to match sonics to landscape. I have no idea what your musical aesthetic is having never watched any of your vids, but almost every you tube vid I have watched has been plagued with noise about as emotionally satisfying as listening to a vanload of grand pianos falling down the stairs, shallow, juvenile and irritating dross. For the most part it is better to remember that noise made with musical instruments is NOT a compulsory component of the film and it is better to allow the landscape to speak for itself with a little help from a low key explanatory commentary of the route and it's points of interest which you have done rather well. For that I thank you. It makes possible the enjoyment of a journey through an atmospheric landscape, a rugged lendof uncertain and and at times, bitterly cold wet climate which gives us a hint of the grit, the rugged independence and strength of character of those who somehow manage to wrench a living from their often remote and uncompromising surroundings.
Thanks for watching Barry. The music I use in my videos normally are tracks I create myself. I only ever use a short 15 - 30 second piece of audio as an intro and don't have it running through the video. To me the sound of nature and what is happening in the background is the most important part to savour my memories of the moment. I'm certainly not a fan (to each his own) of videos with a constant audio accompaniment as I'd rather hear the sounds of the landscape. All the best, Dean.
well done Dean, fingers crossed :)
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. Really admire your commitment and fitness! From one ginger to another, I'm a bit concerned you don't wear a hat! 🤠
Hi, me encanta tu canal. Nueva suscriptora, saludos desde PERÚ
Gracias por suscribirte y ver los videos
:-)
Right on que. Looking to do the PW....walking for 5 days and get as far as I can wildcamping all the way.
I recently participated in an advance map reading course based at Edale, where I camped at Fieldhead camp site, I mentioned to the instructor I watched your video's, he said 'ah yes, the Dean Read effect'. :)
i did this when i was a teenager about 17 and had no idea what i was doing i had such a rough time with gear that was wrong and not knowing what i was doing, i have fond memories of it though which is bizarre in a way, i cant wait to watch this series, going to start now and one day maybe i will do this route again if i can get fit enough.
Thanks for watching Martin. In my previous attempt I had way too much food with me, we carried enough for 7 days worth which made our packs really heavy. It was a great learning curve though and I'm so glad I did this adventure along the Pennine Way the way I did. It's such an iconic route and I enjoyed every moment of it. All the best if you give it another go. Dean
"here we go!"
The wife was that way a couple of weeks ago at Trekfest, The Pennie way is definitely on our hiking bucket list. Try CyberLink Power director, its a great little editing app on android.
Jacobs ladder killed me, my first real hike got to the top and ran out of water, so had to go back, will be back there soon preferably in the autumn when its not so hot. on a unrelated topic i swear you and your friend was on my bus a few months back (hotel Hoppa Heathrow airport)?
Hooked! Great first day - fab weather, fab scenery. Didn't miss the music at all. What was the name of that video editing app again?
Thanks for watching, the android app I'm using is called KineMaster
Class. No music is great. Thanks for sharing. Take care
Have you done the C2C? I’m going next May. Really enjoyed your videos, I wild camped for the first time at Bamford edge last weekend.
The way you've been running of late I assume this is a recon before you smash the Spine Race? 👍
I'm sure I saw you earlier today walking on A61 Alfreton towards shirland😄
You probably did, I was walking home that way from work at about 17:30 ISH 😁
Information on distance travelled, elevation, time taken would be useful at the end of each day.
Thanks for watching Paul, I have all that information. I've added a link in the video description 👍 It was already included in other video descriptionsn but not this one
Regaling us with the reverse waterfall fact at the downfall, as is tradition haha.
Yep as I said on Twitter I am jealous. :)
Yuck Wet Feet & Running no thanks but pal Keep it up & it was nice to see Lisa & Ray on last Vlog cant wait for next one pal keep it up buddy
How much training would you recommend for this journey
Can you gest sleep on dach part of Pennine way? How many miles a day roughly You need to do to reach to hostel\b&b every Night?
If you stop by hebden Bridge , I’d love to say hi!
I could grab you a coffee and send you on your way
Did this walk 46 years ago
Best season for this trail? summer or autumn?
Towards the end of summer I'd say, that way you still have the daylight hours for some of the bigger days
@@DeanRead thanks a lot
No problem 👍
What where the distances you walked each day and how tough is it?
Check the video description for the final video. There is a link to all the distances, ascent, accomodation and maps in there. It can be a really tough route but it depends on fitness level and your ability to look after your body day to day. Thanks for watching
Graham if you’re relatively fit it’s very achievable. I stayed in digs every night and rarely struggled.
@@drnick1972 agreed, a good night's sleep certainly helps
can the pennine way be walked without maps
It's very tricky to follow in places so I wouldn't advise doing it without a map. When you are up on the moors the path sometimes disappears so maps and compass are essential. Thanks for watching
@@DeanRead no thank you will watch your journey in full
