Dan and Helen's Pennine adventure

Dan and Helen’s Pennine Adventure sees Dan Walker and Helen Skelton team up for a very personal adventure.  They are taking on the iconic Pennine Way, Britain’s first and finest long-distance trail.  This is in a new four-part travelogue for Channel 5 (starting on Tuesday 15th August 2023).

Spanning 268 miles and reaching from Derbyshire to the Scottish Borders, the trail is right on both Dan and Helen’s doorstep.  So, they’ve decided to ditch the guidebooks and turn to social media for suggestions.  They've asked those who know the famous route to reveal their favourite spots and hidden gems.

Travelling from near Dan’s home in Sheffield to Helen's in Cumbria, they explore the stunning countryside.  They meet the diverse communities and business owners who make up the ‘backbone of Britain’.  This is whilst getting stuck into a whole host of challenging local activities.
