Here are the actual measured GPS milages of the walk as we did it, using Viewranger software on a Samsung Galaxy SII phone. If anyone is feeling particularly bored I have the .gpx files for each section, allowing them to be overlaid on Google Earth (and many others).
Not surprisingly the total is much greater than the usually quoted value of 267 miles. This is because of the combination of:
- Extra miles walking to and from the B&B
- The first abandoned attempt to walk Dufton to Garrigill
- Walking to & from Vindolanda. Nothing to do with the Pennine Way really, but we walked it, so the GPS measured it.
- Walking up & down from Cocklawfoot to the Pennine Way
