Until the hover-sofa is invented I'm unlikely to get my wife out walking anywhere challenging, my friends aren't really into it and my kids are still very young so I tend to go for decent walks all on my lonesome. I've managed to get my mate interested in going for a walk, I tempted him with the promise of visiting a bit of destruction; come and see the crashy plane!
In his introduction thread on the welcome forum, Munch mentioned he was interested in going up there in the next few weeks as well. Well, I thought, there's a bit of interest in this so a thread maybe in order. One where the experienced can offer their wisdom and the inexperienced can offer their enthusiasm.
After tinkering with memory map, I thought I could park where the pennine way crosses snake pass and walk on up. Munch mentioned much malicious mutiliation of many motors by 'ooligans there, so I thought I'd give that a miss. It seems parking at Torside reservoir and following the pennine way from there is a sensible route. Is it?
Are there nasty things to watch out for? bogs, cliffs, remote tribes, dog poo?
If I come back then I'll put together a trip report, if I end up like Percy Fawcett looking for Z in the Amazon, then generations of explorers can come looking for my remains.
