Coast to Coast is upon us…
Well It’s that time and the Coast to Coast is upon us,this time tomororw we will be a few miles into our journey from St Bees on the west coast of England to Robin Hoods Bay on the East coast of England.

However when we were sat in the pub after doing the Glaisdale Round, we got talking and decided that we would prefer to do it sooner rather than later, so we are now planning to bring it forward a year and do it in 2010. I’ve already got a book and a few useful websites, have a rough idea of how and when we want to do it, using a mixture of campsites and...
