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.



Full details of the walk can be found on several web sites including http://www.northwestwalks.co.uk/

St Bees

Met Julia and Kevin at Whitehaven station. Got a taxi to our BandB then walked down to the beach and hot the roles of our boots wet in the Irish Sea. Kevin picked up a pebble to throw into the North Sea when we get to Robin Hoods Bay. Went to the pub and had a meal - Kevin had the big Yorkshire pud with cumberland sausage and it was HUGE. Now off to bed for an early night and early start in the morning. Breakfast at 7.30.
