Bob hiked the entire 270 mile Pennine Way, still considered by many the most challenging long path in England, in 16 days in late May/early June. Mike E. joined him for all but the last two days (about 240 miles), while Dave joined him for more than the northern half (about 150 miles). The Pennine Way traverses the spine of central and northern England from Edale in the Peak District, north through the Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland National Park to Kirk Yetholm just across the border of Scotland. After reaching Kirk Yetholm, Bob and Dave continued on to the Northwest Highlands of Scotland to revisit famous hikes/climbs that weather prevented them from completing in 2016 and try some new ones. Given that this was the UK, the weather wasn't perfect, but it was far better than for the 2016 trek.
