The Pennineway in 10 Days Ultralight
I once again set off on a Charity walk attempting to do the Pennineway in 10 days going southbound.
This walk was for Cohen Gareis, who was in a horrific car accident and was left with a severe brain injury, and he is still in hospital now.
This trail tested me to the core with severe weather conditions expected and wet feet I walked on regardless.
This film is dedicated to the Gareis family

A distant dream became a reality in late August 23 when I headed out to Swedish Lapland to complete the Northern section of the Kungsleden from Abisko to Nikkaluokta . Unfortunately, on this trip, I suffered from diarrhoea and sickness, which was a first for me on trail. I used my lightweight gear but carried a lot of food and extras like batteries, etc. 'Gear I used' coming soon. #durstongear ...

      Hi, I walked from Hadfield trainstation up to Bleaklow and camped there. Unfortunately, the mist came in, and I got lost (should have been on Pennineway as far as kinder ), so I ended up crossing the bogs to a small path, which led to Alport Castles. I then crossed the snakes pass rd and went up and over to Hope. The path up to Bleaklow is fine but I would not recommend the bog hopping
