Coast to Coast
Hiking along Wainwright's coast to coast walkOverview
The route starts from St Bees and ends in Robin Hoods Bay. I’m starting on the 18th of April and will reach Robin Hood’s Bay on the 28th (which will be my 50th birthday). The numbers in circles show where I’ll start each day.
Campsites are booked for every night of the trip. I’ll be carrying everything I need but hope to keep my backpack under 10kg (including food and water) edit – pack size nearer to 15kg!!
I used the book “Trekking the Coast to Coast Path” from Knife Edge Outdoor Guidebooks to plan the trip. I have made a few changes as I would prefer to stay at campsites rather than pub beer gardens so there are a few excursions from the path. However, I always plan to walk back to the coast to coast path at the point I left it so that I’ve completed the whole walk.

Remember to eat
Day 8 was pretty much walking across farmland to get to the moors. Just one last climb near the end to get to the campsite. I really messed up with food. I didn’t have enough to eat and it caused me to be more tired and not as happy generally. You don’t realise it’s...
