The peak district is a lot like some of the places posted about here if they had much smaller peaks, actual paved paths for some of the main trails, you were never within a few hours from a bath, lots of tourists, and instead of big bugs there were midges. I think those paths are also to protect the route from you excessive erosion

learnincurve posted:They are yes, peak national park has invested a fortune in putting nice paths and stairs along vulnerable parts of the pennine way especially in the Edale/Castleton area. It still makes it really unimpressive when people brag about walking it, unless they keep on going north and out of youth hostel range. The biggest problem mountain rescue has is idiots using google maps as a map or geocaching on a Iphone and then ending up hosed when the heavy fog comes down and oops no battery, few years ago they said that call outs have gone up 180% since the invention of the smartphone. I wonder if the stats for cow attacks have done the same. Feel like there are a lot more idiots with dogs nowadays
