Day01 Friday 24 September 2010
Kinder Low - Crowden
(After day 00 description.)
First full days walking which turned out to be far tougher than anticipated, missing out all off route peaks to ensure finish at Crowden before dark.
Day02 Saturday 25 September 2010
Crowden - Standedge
Day02 Summary, Map, Route and Description
Yet another tough day managing only 1mph for first 3½ miles, only 12 miles completed overall and have abandoned any idea of going off route to bag nearby peaks. The walk is hard enough without making it any harder. Wild camped in pub garden. Treat of the day roast beef and yorkshire pudding. Quote of the day "You wanted a challenge - well you have bl**dy well got one"

Day03 Sunday 26 September 2010
Standedge - Hebden Bridge
Walked 17 miles today as terrain not so hilly, so first time covered anything like expected distance. No B&B at end of day, had to wild camp in farmers field, no shower again. Treat of the day - fresh drinking water.

Day04 Summary, Map, Route and Description
Another good days walking and managing to stay on schedule. Again no B&B the owners had gone on holiday, so pleased enough to get somewhere to pitch my tent. Now camped 5 consecutive days. At least I had a hot shower after 3 days without.
