Some notes on the Pennine Way, first week.

Edale to Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Plan it for Malham (Day 6 of my plan) and the weekend not to coincide, far too busy in the summer and the only single night accommodation is the YHA. (Which is OK).
Day 2, Wellcroft House B&B 3/4 mile off route at Standedge is an excellent stay. Day 3, stay somewhere in Hebden Bridge (NOT the Crown), as it’s a lively spot, Il Mulino’s restaurant has the best food on the trip, and passing through Heptonstall and/or Hardcastle Crags the next morning is much more interesting than the scrappy route from Callis Bridge. Day 4, go into Haworth for a look around and a drink, then a bus or taxi up the hill to The Old Silent Inn, a little Gem of a place, cheapest accommodation of the week, very good food, and only a few hundred yards off the route.
