<p>We will be walking <strong>260 miles </strong>following the Pennine Way Trail.&nbsp; Starting in Edale &amp; finishing in Kirk Yetholm in Scotland. (Crossing: Dark Peak, Southern Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, North Pennines, Tyne Gap, Border Moors &amp; Forests &amp; The Cheviots).</p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>To give you some idea of how challenging this is...... it's the equivalent of almost 10 marathons, but it's over some of the highest, remotest terrain in England!&nbsp;&nbsp;During the&nbsp;journey we have an accumulative ascent of 12,188m. (Everest is 8,488m).&nbsp; There are a total of 12 mountains en-route.</strong></span></p> <p>The walk takes approx 21 days to complete - but as we both work full time we have to complete the walk during weekends &amp; Bank Holidays.&nbsp; Our start date is 2nd April 2011&nbsp;&amp; we hope to have completed by June 2011 (Blisters permitting).</p> <p>This is a personal challenge for us - but we want to use the opportunity to raise funds for Willow Wood Hospice who cared for our cousin Paul Jones during the last few weeks of his life.</p> <p>Willow Wood depend on donations to continue the excellent palliative care they provide.&nbsp; So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
