In 2002 the club resolved to walk the Pennine Way in stages over  a 10 year period.

The Pennine Way National Trail is at its simplest a long distance pub to pub walk starting at the Nags Head pub in Edale, and after 268 miles of chasing the Pennines along the rugged backbone of England, from the Peak District through the Yorkshire Dales and over Hadrian’s Wall to the Cheviots it ends at the Border Inn, Kirk Yetholm.

So far about half of this project has now been completed and for pictures from stages so far check out the Pennine Way section of the Gallery.
