No 467 - Completing The Pennine Way
Manage episode 211216437 series 2128602
July 2018 and Rose has now completed the Pennine Way, during what turned out to be the hottest, driest period of weather the UK has experienced for many years.
As you’ll hear on the podcast tackling it attached to Pip the Spaniel proved to be one of the many limitations, as the heat meant carrying water was priority and continual checking the dogs health when walking to blistering hot stone paths and tracks added even more to the challenge.
Rose can only carry so much weight and so decided to not take any cooking gear, relying on posting ahead museli for herself and dog food as her daily rations. Unless she could find food on route at pubs or accomodation, this resulted in her living off bars and fruit, or whatever she could buy in the villages.
The weather changed everything, the terrain became harder, the climbs became steeper and Pip pulled continually weaving from side to side on the track, making each step inconsistent.
