- Four young students are challenged to walk the Pennine Way. This was an attempt (before it's time) at reality TV. The film crew walked with them all the way, which again in those days, had not been done before.

I first did the walk in 1974, 50 years ago, I have been on holidays all over the world since, but I still look back on the PW as the most memorable holiday of my life. Sadly, since then, many Youth Hostels have closed down, on the plus side lots of boggy sections have been flagged to preserve the land. It's a long walk, so make sure you do plenty of training beforehand, and if you are travelling with friends/ companions choose them wisely, because tempers can flare when you are tired and weary. Four of us set out, but wo dropped out at the end of day three, despite intensive long distance training for six months beforehand. Good luck, and I hope the weather is kind for you.
I first did this in that long hot summer of 1976 prior to joining the Army and returned again after leaving the Army in 1979. Loved every day and yes it was my first taste of Long Distance Hiking. Next for me was the Coast to Coast in 1981 for the normal West to East crossing of the country, followed by a North to South PW then a East to West Coast to Coast. All hikes I would reccoment. Now enjoying retirement but miss the open country so much I may just do it all again. Tony in Essex.
Where are they now Sid, 2022 be nice to see what they are doing with there life's now.
Kudos to those fine people. Really enjoyed watching that series.
