Background to the Association The Pennine Way Association (PWA) was formerly known as the Pennine Way Council. In 1970, representatives of the Ramblers’ Association emphasised the need for a single organisation to act as a ‘focus of public interest in Britain’s first and most famous long-distance footpath’. Tom Stephenson, first proposed the Pennine Way in 1935, and thirty years later on 24th April 1965, addressed an audience of some 2,000 gathered on Malham Moor to celebrate the completion of the Way. He was then Secretary of the Ramblers’ Association. In 1970, when the Pennine Way Council was formed. Tom Stephenson was elected as first Chairman of the Council, an office he vacated in 1974 to become President. The Pennine Way Council was set up with the remit ‘to secure the protection of the Pennine Way to provide information about the Way to the public, to educate users of the Way and its environs in a proper respect for the countryside, to assist in the organisation of voluntary effort directed at maintenance of the Way and to provide a forum in which different interests connected with the Way and its use can discuss problems of mutual concern’. Since the early 1970’s, there have been a number of significant changes, in particular the role of organisations, such as Natural England (formerly the Countryside Commission/Agency), to support National Trails. Their activities have provided much of the support and developments required to protect the Pennine Way, a remit that originally was a key feature of the Council. In 1992 the name was amended to the Pennine Way Association to reflect some of these changes, but with a clear message from members for the need for the continuation of an independent forum with the interests of the Pennine Way at heart. Membership is now mainly via individual associate members, rather than the range of local authorities and public organisations, that formed a significant proportion of the membership in the early days. Difficulties with obtaining volunteers for Committee positions, and the changing status of long-distance footpaths, means that the role of the Association has become more disparate, and it was evetually wound up.
