Wainwright Coast to Coast June 2009 Part 1 of 2

A record of my coast-to-coast walk from St. Bees to Robin Hood's Bay as created by A. Wainwright. A solo walk with a mix of camping, YHA and B&B but aided by SherpaVan for moving luggage and enriched by many other walkers I met along the way. The walk is recorded in two files. Part 1 - St. Bees to Richmond and Part 2 - Richmond to Robin Hood's Bay. The second file also contains information helpful if you're planning you're own C2C walk. I hope you enjoy it. I certainly did. Peter Cooke - Upminster, Essex, England

Is 'wildcamping' an option??

@Finchaviary

Hmmm...not really. Most of the obvious overnight stops are in villages. You'd have to replan the stages to be in open country at night - and still have to get permission from the land-owner. Also, for me, the fact that fellow walkers end up in the villages meant making new friends which was part of the fun. Hope this helps your planning.

This was so exciting for me to stumble over! I am planning my solo trip for May 2010 and am gathering info. Is it easy to find camping places along the route?

[PeterPowerpack]

Camping is a bit hit and miss...especially in Shap. Look at my video part 2 where I include my itinerary and overnight stops.
