Hiking the Pennine Way while staying in a motorhome is an adventurous way to experience this iconic trail. Here are some tips and considerations for doing the Pennine Way in a motorhome:

1. Campsite and Parking: Plan your stops and overnight stays carefully. While there may not be dedicated motorhome campsites along the Pennine Way, you can look for campsites and caravan parks in nearby towns or villages. Make sure they have facilities like waste disposal and electricity hook-ups if needed. Some sites may also offer spaces for overnight parking.
2. Wild Camping: In some areas, wild camping may be an option, but it’s important to research local regulations and obtain any necessary permits. Leave No Trace principles should always be followed when wild camping to protect the environment.
3. Trail Access: Motorhomes are not suitable for driving on the actual Pennine Way trail, as the trail consists of footpaths and rugged terrain not suitable for vehicles. You’ll need to park your motorhome at designated parking areas or campsites and then hike the trail on foot.
4. Shuttle Services: Depending on your itinerary, you may need to arrange shuttle services to drop you off at the trailhead and pick you up at the end of your hiking day. Some accommodations near the trail may offer shuttle services for hikers.
5. Supplies and Provisions: Stock up on supplies, including food, water, and any necessary gear, before starting your hike. Many of the villages along the trail may have limited shopping options.
6. Navigation: Ensure you have detailed maps, a compass, and a guidebook for navigating the Pennine Way on foot. GPS devices and mobile apps with offline maps can also be helpful.
7. Weather: Be prepared for variable weather conditions, especially in the higher elevations. Bring appropriate clothing, including waterproof gear, and check the weather forecast regularly.
8. Respect Local Communities: Be considerate of local communities and residents when parking or staying in your motorhome. Follow any local rules and regulations regarding parking and camping.
9. Safety: Always prioritize safety. Let someone know your itinerary and expected return time. Carry essential safety equipment, such as a first-aid kit and communication devices.
10. Hiking Experience: Assess your hiking experience and physical fitness level. The Pennine Way can be physically demanding, so make sure you are prepared for long days of walking.

Hiking the Pennine Way while staying in a motorhome can offer you the freedom to explore this beautiful trail while having the comforts of your vehicle nearby. However, it requires careful planning and organization to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

The Yorkshire Dales, located in northern England, are known for their stunning natural beauty and picturesque landscapes. However, like many historic and rural areas, they have their fair share of spooky legends, ghost stories, and mysterious occurrences. Here are a few notable spooky tales from the Yorkshire Dales:

1. The Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall: While not in the Yorkshire Dales itself, Burton Agnes Hall is located in the neighboring county of East Yorkshire. The hall is said to be haunted by a screaming skull that was bricked up in a wall to silence its cries. It is believed to belong to the ghost of Anne Griffith, who was allegedly murdered in the 17th century.
2. The Ghost of Lady Alice Peckett: In York, which is near the Yorkshire Dales, there is a famous pub called the Ye Olde Starre Inn. It is said to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Alice Peckett, the wife of a former mayor of York. Her apparition has been reported by staff and visitors over the years.
3. The Black Monk of Pontefract: While Pontefract is not in the Yorkshire Dales, it’s still relatively nearby. The Black Monk is one of the most famous poltergeists in England and is said to haunt 30 East Drive in Pontefract. This house has been the site of numerous paranormal events, including levitating objects and unexplained noises.
4. Wensleydale’s Phantom Carriage: In the Wensleydale area of the Yorkshire Dales, there have been reports of a phantom carriage drawn by headless horses. This ghostly carriage is said to appear on moonless nights, carrying a headless driver.
5. Bolton Abbey Ghosts: Bolton Abbey, located in the Yorkshire Dales, is rumored to be haunted by several ghosts, including a headless monk who is said to roam the ruins. There have also been reports of a spectral dog that haunts the area.
6. Mysterious Lights: Some parts of the Yorkshire Dales have been associated with mysterious lights in the night sky. While these could be attributed to natural phenomena or distant aircraft, they have sometimes been linked to UFO sightings and other paranormal activity.

It’s important to note that these are just legends and stories, and there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of ghosts or supernatural phenomena. However, these tales add to the rich folklore and history of the region, making the Yorkshire Dales even more intriguing for those interested in the supernatural. If you decide to visit the area, you might encounter some of these stories for yourself or learn more about the local legends from residents and tour guides.

Why not visit some of these spooky places if that’s your thing.

Our motorhomes and campervans are ideal for travelling across the rugged landscape of the Yorkshire Dales.
