Pennine Way Day 12 (11) Dufton to Alston 20 miles - Longest hike to the highest point in England and the PW. Also the windiest and coldest place officially. Blessed with stunning views as the clouds lifted just as I got to the Cross Fell summit. The descent to Greg’s Hut a well known Bothie and shelter was great. The next section from Greg’s Hut to Garrigill is 6 miles of chunky rock/gravel road called the Corpse road that was really hard work. Glad to reach Alston YHA and a hot meal. My walking companion for most of the day was Graham an amazingly sprightly 80 year old who is rewalking the Pennine Way 45 years after he last did it.
