Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk Sep 2010

Chris & Sue P and I walked 200 miles across England on Wainwright's fabulous walk in two weeks early in September 2010. The walk crosses the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Weather was very kind to us - we crossed the Lake District in the dry and with crystal clear views (how lucky is that?) and we had just one day which was totally, miserably wet. When we first spoke of it, could we do it? - we did it!
