The Pennine Way Companion" - first published in 1968 - is one of the unique "Pictorial Guides" compiled by legendary author, artist and fellwalker, A. Wainwright. It provides detailed information for walkers following Britain's first continuous long-distance footpath, the Pennine Way, which runs for 268 miles along the length of the Pennines from Edale in Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm in southern Scotland. Inaugurated in 1965, the Pennine Way has become one of the most popular long-distance footpaths in Britain. It is used by well over a hundred thousand walkers a year. This edition of "Pennine Way Companion" was revised in 1994, after the author's death.
