Pennine Way
The Pennine Way is a National Trail in England, with a small section in Scotland. The trail runs 〔
〕 from Edale, in the northern Derbyshire Peak District, north through the Yorkshire Dales and the Northumberland National Park and ends at Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish border. The path runs along the Pennine hills, sometimes described as the "backbone of England".〔Poucher, page 9〕 Although not the United Kingdom's longest National Trail (this distinction belongs to the long South West Coast Path), it is according to the Ramblers' Association "one of Britain's best known and toughest".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Pennine Way National Trail )〕
==History==
The path was the idea of the journalist and rambler Tom Stephenson, inspired by similar trails in the United States of America, particularly the Appalachian Trail. Stephenson proposed the concept in an article for the ''Daily Herald'' in 1935, and later lobbied Parliament for the creation of an official trail. The walk was originally planned to end at Wooler〔Poucher, page 13〕〔Wood, page 234〕 but eventually it was decided that Kirk Yetholm would be the finishing point. The final section of the path was declared open in a ceremony held on Malham Moor on 24 April 1965. Before the official opening of the Pennine Way the British Army was invited to test the whole route. The Army did this in one day! Junior soldiers from the Junior Tradesman's Regiment of the Army Catering Corps, based in Aldershot, were split into patrols of four or five and each was allocated a 15-mile (approximately) section of the walk. A report was then provided on the signage and route feasibility.
The Pennine Way celebrated its 50th Anniversary in April 2015. A special four-part BBC1 series ''The Pennine Way'' was broadcast throughout April.
