"Steeped in history, this National Trail chases along the mountain tops along the rugged backbone of England and offers 268 miles of the finest upland walking in England. A once in a lifetime experience."
Josh Perry alerted us to an early unsupported FKT on the Pennine Way. In 1989, Robin Prince completed in 4days 8hrs and 39mins. Reported on in that September's issue of Fellrunner Magazine (see p.35). As best we can tell this is still (August 2020) the unsupported FKT
The unsupported (not self supported) record appears to be Robin Prince in a time of 4 days 8 hours and 39 minutes, as reported in the September 1989 issue of Fellrunner Magazine.

What an amazing effort that has lasted many years. www.kristianultra.com
Anyone know of a self supported record here?

For reference, Robin Prince's record is mentioned here (search PDF for 'Robin Prince'):

Any male self-supported or unsupported FKT would need to beat this time.
Forgot to say - thanks to Josh for this info!
