Soon, I will be doing the Coast to Coast Walk in May. This is my 5th crossing, other's being in 1990, 1991, 1992 and 2007. The 1992 crossing was east to west and funny I had the a easterly wind behind me.

There is at the moment on BBC 4 "Wainwright's Coast to Coast" with the lovely Julia Bradbury and is on BBCi Player.

This is walk I love and would not get tired of doing it, you could say I'm coast to coast nut or whatever the case maybe.

I'm camping, lightweight and probably use a couple of youth hostel for a quick fresh up, I maybe using pubs for evening meals, although I have a stove and pan-set just in case.

I've set up a blog site and will be doing a day-by-day account of the walk and of cause most important of all - photo's.

Can't wait.

good luck with that,how many days are you planning on doing it in? i saw the programme last night ,the stones called 9 standards are some sight!

Thanks, john. I'm planning a 13 day crossing from St. Bees to Robin Hood's Bay, will be also camping, the best way.

The Nine Standards are awesome, hope to get some photos of them.

I'm hopefully going to do the Wheelwright's in September, but instead of doing Black Sail Pass, probably head a bit further north to Old Coach Road for Pooly Bridge and so on to Robin Hood's Bay.

A double whammy.

Just to inform you, that I've completed my Coast to Coast walk in 12 days and back-packing every night and that is carrying everything, no luggage carried on vans. The weather was a mixed bag, but had 4 days of sunshine in the Lakes and 1 bad day on 9 Standards.

Next is the double Coast to Coast bike ride in September.

John, I will do it this time around

Well done!

I'm glad you never used one of those bag carriers as they usually fly past me on country roads flat out.

thought you were quiet AG , well done have you got any arty pics of (is it the sisters)?
