Day 35 Edale to Glossop

Day 35 Edale to Glossop 

Today was the day I had planned to start the Pennine Way. Due to storm Dave I planned an early start and was soon on my way to Edale, to get going. At the start I met a couple of people from Mountain Rescue. We talked a bit about the weather and they said that I would have 3 possibly 4 hours before the storm hit. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it to a bailout point in that time, do I decided to take the Pennine Bridleway instead. It's a lower route, close to roads and villages.

The walk was lovely, albeit cloudy and with increasing winds. Especially exposed areas got difficult with the wind catching my backpack and pushing me about.


   The narrowest bridge so far 😂

   Never pass by a cafe! 

   Yum! 


   I would have been on those hills.

   Who dat?
   This is where the wind started to get very difficult there was nothing to shield against it.

Glossop, my goal for today. It doesn't show in the photo  but there's a steep hill I had to get down and with the strong gusts I was looking for a safer way when a lokal walker came along and showed me the best way. 

I later learned that it had been very difficult for people on the PW, having to walk far to find sheltered places to camp. This was the right decision for me.
