An account of a trek from St Bees in the Lake District (West Coast) to Robin Hood's Bay in north Yorkshire (East Coast) being attempted by Kevin, Julia and Anita in May 2010.
Who? Where? Why? What?
Kevin and Julia (married, marathon runners) and Julia's Aunt, Anita (OAP) are attempting to do Wainwright's Coast to Coast Path walk from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire. A total of about 180 miles (depending on which guide book you read) in 11 days. We will be setting off on Monday 10th May (Happy Birthday BB) and hope to finish on Thursday 20th May, an average of 16.3 miles per day.
We have arranged for 'Packhorse' to transport our bags between the nightly B&B stops and all accommodation is already booked, all we have to do now is get to the start point and walk!!
Keep your fingers crossed for good weather for us - and keep watching the blog.
I'm a retired Civil Servant, a volunteer cook for the Tall Ships Youth Trust and a School Governor at Kyson Primary School in Woodbridge. I was married for 33 years and now live close to my daughter and 2 grandchildren, who are the focus and joy of my life. I also love long-distance walking, cycling, gardening, reading, sudoku and too much else to mention. My philosophy on life is the same as my blood group (B+!!)
