We've got it all planned out... well, mostly. Bob has us winging it on a couple of camping nights.
Our trip is broken up into two legs. The first leg is the Coast to Coast Walk, also called the Wainwright Path. It's a 200 mile trail as we have it planned. This trek begins in St Bees, on the west coast of England and finishes in Robin Hood's Bay on the east coast. We'll travel through 3 national parks during this first leg; The Lake District, The Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors.
