I was the youngest at 19 years, the oldest about 30 years, one being Tom’s young secretary. We each answered an advert for experienced Hill Walkers in the Daily Telegraph .The cost for two weeks £27. The best holiday we have ever had The year was about june 1951/2 It was termed The Pioneer Walk of the Pennine Way. Each day we took it in turns to find a Camp Site, approaching farmers, we had some very varied beautiful sites . We lived on Strawberries and Wensleydale Cheese.The First night the leader was taken ill so we had to organise it between us, he gave us the money, and all was spent on food. Any one out there that was on this walk? The last meeting was a reunion dinner in a Restaurant in Beak Street London the same year. Joyce Neville Ne Barker.The longest day was 28 miles, mostly 18/20.

A major obstacle which has arisen since then is the closure of many (perhaps most) of the Youth Hostels which at that time enabled us to do it. Seems very sad, especially when they are replaced by grandiose urban hostels.
