Coast to Coast Revisited: Random Thoughts
http://watsonswalks.blogspot.com/2009/01/random-thoughts_03.html
Coast to Coast Revisited. This blog is a record of my 2008 attempt at, and preparations for, Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk. Saturday, 3 January 2009. There are many extended walks in the UK, some just as scenic and varied as the Coast to Coast Walk. None, however, have its sociability: the camaraderie between hikers, from diverse ages, backgrounds and nationalities, is beguiling and addictive. The mix is magical. My third crossing was just as enjoyable as the previous two. . The stages were about right.

A Walk in the Northern Dales – Introduction. In the summer of 2007 I walked a three day route in the Pennines. I’d hiked the Dales Way in April, and planned to visit the Cumbria Way in September.

Sunday 16 September 2007. The day dawned dark and chilly with the forecasters predicting heavy and sustained rain throughout the day.

Day 3: Keld to Hawes (About 11.5 miles). Friday 3 August 2007. My feet were still playing up. I put the problem down to my Brasher Supalite GTX boots not being tough enough for my route. I’d have to splash out on something more robust before September. The path soon empties onto open moor. It is mostly paved and provides. There were a few people ...

After arriving at the ODG my foot problem worsened. My right foot, from the ball to the toes erupted into one large deep-seated blister. I treated it as best I could and retired to bed, hoping the rest would relieve the problem. By morning it had, if anything, worsened. As on my last trip in the Dales, I was pleased that t...

Day 1: Hawes to Kirkby Stephen (About 15.5 miles). Wednesday 1 August 2007. The first pull of the walk was an 800 foot climb up Cotter End a mile or two out of Hawes – something of a shock to the system after having had a sedate ride over to the Dales. Never mind; I eventually got to the top. The walk went through grand, outstanding country. ...
