I am preparing a blog about my recent Coast to Coast walk, it's been a while since I wrote anything for this site although I have been on a few walks. In 2015 I completed what I thought would be my final long distance backpacking/camping walk-Hadrian's Wall. In fact I have been quoted as saying, as I rose from my tent on the final morning- "I am never b***** camping again!" The following year I was as good as my word and we completed the Ridgeway staying at B&Bs.
My memory is not what it used to be and so I began planning another long distance 192 miles - this time due to it being a two week hike and the state of finances I had to go budget and carry my camping gear. My new found strength apported to the old back from countless exercises I was sure would get me through. Spoiler alert: It worked and I completed the whole thing on schedule and with minimal discomfort.
In the meantime I have 2 projects on the go- The Monarch's Way and Shakespeare's Avon Way, Both of these I plan to walk in sections- day hikes or weekends with the odd week thrown in on The Monarch's simply due to the distance I have to travel for the most Southerly section. You will be able to click on the links to the right in order to follow my progress on these.
Happy Walking!!
