Section 1 Scottish National Trail (with Pennine Preamble): Haltwhistle to Morebattle
Переглядів 2593 місяці тому
In this video, we show the route along the Pennine Way and St. Cuthbert’s Way between Haltwhistle and Morebattle in our 600-mile journey along the Scottish National Trail. We chose to add a 60 mile Pennine Way preamble to our SNT start so we could see Hadrian’s Wall and the Cheviots. It was also a convenient access point by train. #scottishhighlands #scottishnationaltrail #trekking #backpacking...

Yayyyy!! My husband and I just hiked the SNT as well from April 19 - May 30. Ben just retired 2 weeks before we left so we didn't have time limitations. We are lazy hikers getting up late, taking as many zeros as we want and did a lot of touristy stuff. Hehe. I enjoy hiking in the UK so much more than in the US honestly. Great videos! Thank you for sharing
Amazing! Actually we watched many of your videos since you were posting your journey as we were preparing to leave for ours! How fun to have you then watch ours! 😀
@@geekbaggers hah...really? Thats soo cool!! I searched for SNT and your videos came up. :) What was your start date? You must have had more midgies than we did.
@hikersheep we started on the Pennine Way actually for about 60 miles first on June 26. The midges were actually really mild because of the breeze. We only got annoyed like twice...they aren't pleasant but we find mosquitos to be worse. The horseflies on the other hand...they were annoying! We were 28 days and 590 miles total. We had a short time though - just off for the summer (teachers).
@@geekbaggersyes i know you guys started down south. Easier logistically. Getting to Kirk Yetholm was complicated. Thats such a late start! Im usually home already around mid June cause I miss Bobo. Hehe! I couldnt figure out what month you started. Im gonna do the Pennine Way by myself next year. Ben doesnt like hiking as much as I di but he will come later to hike some easy trail like The Cotswold Way or something then we go to Wimbledon Tennis in July. Hiking CDT in Montana would be soo nice!! I've never been
@hikersheep the Pennine should be nice! And yes easier logistics for sure. We really loved getting to see your videos before we left. School doesn't let out in Washington State until Mid June so we have to leave later. I'm super stoked about Montana. I've been trying to finish up my triple crown by section hiking the CDT and it feels like it'll take forever :). We want to alternate domestic and foreign though... so the following summer we're thinking about Japan or Bhutan for a summer hike. Ben seemed to hang in there, but too bad he's not as excited about hiking. Glad he'll get to join you for part! It could be cool to have an off trail support system too!
How cool, another brilliant video. So glad you finished intact, enjoyed it and glad to have met you along the way ❤
Thank you again for sharing. Walking the Rob Roy Way, I also passed these trails. I stayed a few days in Pitlochry and made a day hike to Killiekrankie and to the mountain top of Ben Vracky. It is a nice part of the Highlands indeed.
Awesome! Pitlochry seemed like a neat town 😀
Hello. I walked the Rob Roy Way this year, with a detour to Comrie and from there over the mountains back the official Trail. I walked exactly this same part in 12:59 where the trail got lost in nowhere....LOL....had the same struggle to find back the trail. Respect for walking the Scottish National Trail. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Poland and I wish you always safe trails!
@Buszkraftowski right?? Then there was that landrover path that went straight down to the bridge... it's like...why not make that the route? Lol
@@Buszkraftowski also, I was in Poland for Xmas! Had a lovely time in Krakow and Warsaw.
@@geekbaggers I am not sure if we both went wrong at one point and walked an old and forgotten and given up path. There was a crossing to the right (when coming from comrie) just a few meter from 12:35. Maybe this was the official route... 🤔
@@geekbaggers Glad to hear you had a good time in Poland. In the south of Poland are many nice mountain trails. E.g. Góry Sowie, Karkonosze, Świeto Krzyckie or if you like it even more wild Tatra and Bieszczady
My dad's mum was a Morgan from Wales 👍🏼
@@AdrianCurtis-n7f hello cousin!
@@geekbaggers 👍🏼😂
Why the Scottish accent in Wales , 🤔
@user-yx4wy1xp5w because I can't do Welch accent!
@@geekbaggers that's ok It's just we are used to hearing the Welsh accent in the UK x
Nice video though. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
It’s Morebattle, not Moorbattle.
@@keithsinclair3409 Oh my! Thanks for the correction...
Awesome! Enjoy the wind!
