- I hope this short film gives some insight into the beautiful scenery and landscape that is the Pennine Way.
I was lucky enough to through hike the whole trail in the summer of 2022 it really is a amazing trail and a fantastic adventure.
Its been 46 years since I first attempeted the PW South to North, three weeks later I finished it, for the first time. I returned the following year 1976 to hike it North to South. I loved both trips and, after finishing my 1976 Hike I started my Infantry training as the oldest recruit, I was only 21 and got the Nickname Grand-dad being the Oldest one of the Intake. Needless to say my Army nickname was Grandad for the next 3 years. I told no one of the hikes until we had finished training. One of my instructors guessed I had done some map reading training and some camping but he did not believe I had Hike so far in just three weeks. So I showed him my Pennine Way Companion Book. The look on his face the next day was priceless. His first words to the whole intake was "What did you do in the 3 weeks before arriving here", most say a few country runs to get fitter", he then turn to and said "Do you want to tell them or should I" I replied "You Can, but I doubt they will believe you". He just asked to Borrow my "Pennine Way Campanion" Book again just to prove that I had done something he did not think he could do. Those few kind words got me through the 18 weeks training with a smile on my face. Not a months go by now that I am retired that I do not watch someone Hiking the Pennine Way. Thanks for letting me relive my Hikes via you Videos. Tony the Retired Hiker in Essex.
Loved watching along. You captured it beautifully, thank you! ❤
Always look forward to watching your films
Inspirational video, absolutely loved it . The fact you’d done no training, your tent leaks was a breath of fresh air. RUclips is full of videos from content creators who’ve trained for months and spent thousands on gear . Going out on my own adventure soon , it’s good to know there’s like minded folk out there 👍🏼
Hi Paul
Thank you for your comments
Glad the film was enjoyable to watch. I have been filming my adventures for many years now. Most were filmed before youtube had been invented?
You might enjoy the first film I made it’s called walking cape York I am only Suggesting it because there certainly wasn’t much planning. Also, I had very minimal equipment.!!
All the best for your upcoming adventure .
Jon
incredible!
A lovely New Years Treat of a video. Thanks Jon
Very nice photography and cameos of wildlife. You did well coping with the chills and colds.
Thank you, planning on doing next year around the same time. I’ll probs do a bit of training and make sure I’m warm and dry, it looked a bit chilly and wet. Well done by the way. Video was perfect.
Just finished watching your back catalogue Fanbloodytastic!
Somebody give this man his own TV show.
Great video, inspirational to me , plan to follow in your footsteps all the best J 👍
Well done Jon,👏👏 Very strong mental fortitude shown here , as a lot of hikers would have chucked the towel in when you got sick and spent 36 hours tent bound. Great video and scenery up there is fantastic.
A grand walk. Watched and enjoyed end to end. Mark
That was a very enjoyable film and your choice of music was excellent. Thankyou.
What a journey, cant believe you caught the rona! I'm planning on doing Pennine way solo this July hopefully under 2 weeks. thank you for you video its been very inspirational

Jon
@@jonepoulter7524 Hope you're doing well Jon. Looking forward to another adventure! I walked the Cotswold and Peddars Way last year (in part inspired by you), then a few days on a GR in France. Asked my mate there to arrange a kayak trip a la yours ---- we spent 2 days and a night on the Lot (hahaha! all weirs and slow slightly dodgy water! Was fun though ruclips.net/video/uJ3ss4Y_ZCU/видео.htmlsi=aTUlz7K2aus0fOqL cheers JD NZ
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Currently half way though the swcp after seeing your video last year pennine way is on my uk trail list. And the coast to coast
Wonderful video, thank you!
Another great film, thanks Jon
Stunning
Wow! I think you mentioned yesterday that you found walking very meditative, I didn't realise you meant proper big treks, incredibly impressive!!! Your film making is just wonderful to watch, thank you for sharing xx❤️🙏
Thank you Yolanda
Glad you enjoyed watching the film
Jonxx
@@jonepoulter7524 Yes, it's very beautiful to watch xx
Thanks enjoyed that.
Brilliant video
Great trek and nice scenery Jon, another box ticked, what's next ??
Beautiful video
Hi Jon, just wanted to say what a joy it was to come across your videos. Such amazing footage and filming.. not to mention the lovely music you add. You amaze me how you drop your camera for shots and have to double back for it... you must do much more milage having to do that 😜. It's been so great looking back at your past videos... you have been so adventurous in your life and I'm sure there is more to come... I hope 😁🙏👌💖
Hi Sally
Thank you for your kind comments, glad you have enjoyed some of my videos
All the best jon
Love all your vids, Jon. Started with the SWCP and the fabulous dog that went with you, and the Jordan trail was AMAZING. Sounded like pretty bad man flu in this one!
Excellent. Could really do with a 20 minute video for every one of the 23 or so days walking.
Hi Robert
Thank you for your comments .
Glad the videos have been enjoyable to watch.
Regards jon
Another great video, Jon. I started watching your videos with the ' Travelling India on Royal Enfields' video that 'The Exeter Rider' who you bumped into, recommended. I've watched them all. Some more than once. You've got a great talent for making them and I've been inspired. I've done a couple of trips, on my Royal Enfield Himalayan round Europe over the last couple of years, and have started planning 'my' big motorcycle adventure - South Bucks to Capetown - for 2024. You, and one or two others, have inspired me to get out there and have a go, and during the times when I have doubts I watch an inspirational video to make me believe again. Riding round the coast of Ireland in June this year.
Keep it up, Jon. Looking forward to your next one.
Hi Geoff
That sounds like an amazing adventure, you’ve got Planned riding down to the cape.
And a sensible bike to be doing it on ?
Enjoy your Experience!!
All the best for your travels
Jon
@@jonepoulter7524 Thanks, Jon. Although, I don't think I'll be taking the Himalayan, as I'll be 73 in 2024, and the Himalayan is nearly 200kg, and quite a bit more loaded up.
I want to try to stay on smaller roads and realise that a lot of those will be dirt roads. At 200kg plus, it will be too heavy to pick up when dropped a few times in short succession, so I'm looking at lighter bikes like the Honda CRF250, CRF300, or the Yamaha XT250.
Brilliant, would definitely watch this as a series if you have more! good music choice too.
Thank you for your comments
Glad you have enjoyed the videos
Regards Jon
Another excellent Craphouse Production well done
Great Video. I'm In Spain.. I found my old Pennine Way books I purchased 25 years ago by Tony Hopkins so watched a few videos about the walk for nostalgic reasons. I stumbled onto this excellent presentation. I was blown away that he actually bought a covid test while walking alone and feeling ok. I never bought into this con job and i hope he didn't take the jab so we can see more videos from this guy. Beautiful to see England like this. I lived in Kendal by the way so know the landscape and area well.
Great vlog John. Really enjoyed your SwC video too. You did well to carry on with covid symptoms. I guessed that was your problem. Very inspiring video! Well done. Anything else planned? 👍
covid.. lol
Hey jon....where you off next ? Gettin itchy feet waitin to see what u do next ...
Whatever ...bluddy good luck Jon ..
Love your natural chilled vibe .
👍👍
Did it about 1982 and the video makes me want to do it again but I got a screwed knee and shoulder.
Might just give it a go again
16 miles with COVID is impressive. I couldn't get to my kitchen when I had it 🙂
Nice video, unlucky getting covid right in the middle of your hike! You mentioned midges, what month did you go?
It was good to meet you out there, while I was doing my lejog walk. Glad you got over your Covid and me and Georgia didn’t catch it lol.
Hi jay
Hope your trip went well
It was a big under taking walking lands end to John O’Groats I am sure you had many fantastic experiences (keep walking)!
Send my regards to Georgina when you speak to her next.
All the best
Jon
Great film, training, what's that?
Really enjoy your videos. I just finished the Appalachian Trail this past year and travel when I can. If you're willing to share, what do you do for work or how are you able to take the time for these adventures? Cheers mate
Madison from Georgia, USA
Hi Madison
Glad you have enjoyed the video (they are just made for fun) Congratulations on completing the Appalachian trail, I believe that’s a tough trek?
Regarding your question
( Serendipity ) and the Philosophy, you only live once!!
All the best for your future adventures
Jon
Beautiful video as usual! You definitely capture nature's beauty, very well done! I am planning on doing the southwest trail next fall. Hopefully you don't mind me asking, but do you have any tips on setting up camp and remote camping? I understood you need to ask permission, or is it allowed as long as you respect the environment? It all seems a little vague to me
Good luck with your upcoming hike of the swcp you will definitely enjoy the experience.
Regarding wild camping my Philosophy is to try and find a remote spot,set up camp half an hour before night fall and break camp half an hour after sunrise and of course leave no trace.
So far have never had any problems.
Hope this helps
Regards jon
@@jonepoulter7524 Thank you very much for your response, truly appreciate it! I am very excited haha, have been planning this for quite a while. In the meantime I am happy to follow your beautiful adventures
Hello excellent video, can i just ask on your travels abroad what type of water filter/filters do you use please.
Hi I use a msr trail shot with Chlorine tablets for hiking trips and a msr Guardian for kayaking trips
Hope this helps?
All the best
Jon
Can we get another video please it’s been to long
Hi Jon - great video, planning on doing the Penine way myself next year. Any tips greatly appreciated?!
I have 15 days to complete
Hi Chris
My best advice is to definitely hike the Pennine Way.
It has amazing scenery some of the best in England.
Also I am sure you would of heard the saying less is more especially when packing and carrying a backpack!
All the best enjoy your hike.

Hi Jon, loved the video, sorry to hear you had covid during your hike but equally well done for battling on. I am looking into doing the Pennine Way, it has been a childhood dream so I need to get on with it before I am too old ha ha - just wondering which guide book you used and did you have an itinerary?
I used the cicerone guild book and a garman x trail gps for navigation .
hope you get the time to walk the Pennine way as it’s a amazing hike .
All the best jon
Another enjoyable video Jon with fabulous scenery, look forward to your next one!! Thanks for sharing.
Nice video, I failed at this trail 5 years ago when my knee gave out on day 2!! My own fault very unfit, and way too much gear. Need to have another go. Out of interest what camera gear do you use ? Thanks
Sorry to hear about your knee hope you get the Opportunity to complete the Pennine way in the future.
Regarding question on camera gear I have been using the same camera for many years its a Panasonic hdc sd 600 mos Quite old-fashioned now, but a good camera in its day and still holding its own. Also carry a GoPro for time-lapse shots.
Regards jon
@@jonepoulter7524 Thankyou
all the wonderful people you met , who were edited out.
Does anyone know when the free Wainright pint stopped ? Or maybe it hasn't stopped ? I did the PW in 1976.
Wow this video was very nostalgic.
How did you get the water ?
Did you have a zero day just before Malam or did it clear up The same day?
How do you get back home?
As soon as you done test gone pathetic.
Really nice video, thanks for sharing! How do you keep your devices charged on multi-day hikes when you're mainly wild camping?
Hi Emma
Regarding charging batteries whilst on my hikes
i use a solar panel in conjunction with a small power pack .
Hope this helps
Regards Jon
Mate I hands down think these are some of the most enjoyable films out there. Id love to see more. Im planning to try to run some of the jurassic coast this year. But walking it over that distance is amazing. Keep up the good work sir.
Thank you for your comments glad you enjoyed watching the film. Enjoy your run!
Jon
Thank you! The open wilds whilst sitting in a warm living room with my underfloor heating on at 24c.
Another cracking video, thanks ! This a on my list to do sometime :)
