Set off with tent on Fri morning to complete 36 mile loop, returning on Sat morn. With early rise from tent got round in 25 hr. The route is varied and hilly (4000ft) and can be boggy. Alston is great halfway point to eat and rest with cafe and shop - and to see some people, as I saw nobody all the way round the trail even with good weather (too hot for me max 23C). June 2019.
