Things learned on the Coast to Coast

Well it’s been what seems like an age since we completed the Coast to Coast and I’ve just found this post lurking in my drafts folder so thought I’d publish it in case anyone might find it useful. Here are a few things we learned on the walk, some were our own experiences others are from people we met along the way. Book your accommodation well in advance…places en route book up over a year in advance so be warned. The pack horse/sherpa van facility is worth it’s weight in gold especially when the weather is rubbish. If your bags haven’t arrived when you get to your destination it gives you a good excuse for a few beers before they arrive. Don’t upset your Bed and Breakfast owner, a lot of the local business owners know...

Coast to Coast the Aftermath

Well we’ve been back from our Coast to coast walk for a few days now and we’ve been back at work for a couple of days too. It all seems very strange trying to get back into our daily routine, not getting up and putting our boots on, having our home comforts and driving a car. I’m really missing being outside in the fresh air. We really did have a brilliant time and met some brilliant people, the weather was very kind to us for the most part and the scenery was lovely almost everywhere. I’m in the middle of sorting our photos out and I will upload them to flickr as soon as I get chance, I’ve also got a little post about things we learned during the walk that I hope will help people thinking of doing the walk in the future.

#ourc2c day 13 – Egton Bridge to Robin Hoods Bay

Firstly sorry this is a bit late, I wasn’t in any fit state to write this when we got home, mainly because I had supped quite a lot of IPA in the Wainwright bar in Robin hoods bay, but also because I was buzzing after realising I had just walked from one side of the country to the other. Over the next couple of days I am going to post some summary posts along with a few things we discovered along the way, I will also get round to sorting out the millions of photos i’ve taken and upload them to flickr for you to nosey at if you like. Anyhow, day 13 started with possibly the largest breakfast known to man, I left over half of it and it didn’t look like I had even made a dent in it. We left the Horseshoe at Egton Bridge at around 09:30 with our...
