C2C once more 1
- england long-walks yorkshire
I’m still writing up my holidays. Having finished the Torridon bit, the Coast-to-Coast (C2C) Walk is next - and Kat is about to beat me to it (click)!
The C2C crosses the north of England, though well south of Hadrian’s Wall. It’s almost 200 miles (320 km) long, starts at St. Bees on the west coast by the Irish sea, ends in Robin Hood’s Bay on the east coast by the North Sea and crosses three national parks on the way: the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors.
Kat and I started walking in St Bees five years ago, crossed the Lake District and finished in Shap, 120 km in. I took some pictures then (click), and told some stories about the people we met on the way (click, click). But we couldn’t leave it unfinished with only 200 km to go, so that was the plan for 11 days in September.
Returning from Torridon, I have a rest day to wash my gear and pack my rucksack again. Tomorrow, I’ll take the train to Penrith in the Lakes, where I’ll meet up with Kat, and also with Alan and Ashley, our temporary walking companions.
