Paddy Dillon is a prolific walker and guidebook writer, with over 80 books to his name and contributions to 30 other titles. He has written extensively for many different outdoor publications and has appeared on radio and television.

Paddy was born and reared close to the Pennine Way. He has walked the entire trail four times and has covered many parts on dozens of occasions, throughout the seasons, in all kinds of weather. Paddy has decades of experience of the Pennine Way, and in this guide he offers information and encouragement to others who wish to follow this popular, long-established trail. Paddy uses a tablet computer to write his route descriptions while walking. His descriptions are therefore precise, having been written at the very point at which the reader uses them.

Paddy is an indefatigable long-distance walker who has walked all of Britain’s National Trails and several major European trails. He lives on the fringes of the English Lake District and has walked, and written about walking, in every county throughout the British Isles. He has led guided walks and has walked throughout Europe, as well as in Nepal, Tibet, Korea, Africa and the Rocky Mountains of Canada and the US. Paddy is a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.

Warning

Mountain walking can be a dangerous activity carrying a risk of personal injury or death. It should be undertaken only by those with a full understanding of the risks and with the training and experience to evaluate them. While every care and effort has been taken in the preparation of this guide, the user should be aware that conditions can be highly variable and can change quickly, materially affecting the seriousness of a mountain walk. Therefore, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law, neither Cicerone nor the author accept liability for damage of any nature (including damage to property, personal injury or death) arising directly or indirectly from the information in this book.

To call out the Mountain Rescue, ring 999 or the European emergency number 112: this will connect you via any available network. Once connected to the emergency operator, ask for the police.
