Monday 10th. May 2010. PHOTO: The Old Nag's Head - Edale.Joy drove me over to Keswick last weekend and I am bound for the Pennine Way while Joy will be enjoying a few days in the lodge. I travelled by bus to Manchester but finished the journey to Edale by train from Manchester Piccadilly station. I purchased my ticket and ran out to the platform only to see the train draw away, a minute earlier, or if the train had been a minute late and I would have been on board and not obliged to hang around for another hour and thirty five minutes.... Still I got to Edale about six pm walked up to the official start opposite the Old Nags Head pub and started off on my journey of 268 miles at exactly 6.10pm. The weather forecast is good and the start was dry and sunny and these conditions prevailed throughout the walk although tonight and the following two saw sub-zero temperatures overnight, but as this too was forecast I have come prepared. My daily posts on the walk will not be expansive as a full record has been logged on my "summonedbyfells" page on flickr.
