5 years ago my husband, Andrew, persuaded me to climb Kilimanjaro with him to commemorate his big 5-0. Now, having just reached that huge milestone myself, I've decided it's time for revenge! Next month we are going to walk in Alfred Wainwright's footsteps and follow his coast to coast route from St Bee's on the west coast to Robin Hood's Bay on the east coast. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_to_Coast_Walk) It may not seem an equivalent challenge, but I suspect that 200 miles over 12 days, through 3 national parks and lord knows how many tea shops will prove to be equally as tough and rewarding. We will be joined by our good friends Simon, for the whole walk, and his wife Fiona for the first half. Others have threatened to join in for a weekend in the middle when we will be walking through the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Carol, Steve, Jan and Ian - we look forward to sharing a bit of our adventure with you! And Ali too - sorry, didn't mean to forget you!
We will endeavour to update this blog with stories and pictures as we go along, as and when we have the technology! We hope you enjoy our journey too!
