The Coast to Coast Walk
The Coast to Coast is a 192-mile long route that runs from the West Coast in Cumbria to the East Coast in North Yorkshire. Starting at the Heritage coast of St Bees Head, this famous trail winds across the North, through the Lake District, the Yorskshire Dales, the Vale of Mowbray, and the North York Moors, ending at the beautiful Robin Hood’s Bay. Formally set out by Alfred Wainwright in 1973, the trail represents a rugged challenge, and attracts walkers from all over the world. Find out more about the trail.
Two of us, Vashti and Joe, walked the route in May 2025. It took us 13 days: 11 days walking, with two rest days.
Though we are both keen walkers, this was by far the greatest challenge we have ever attempted.
The money raised from sponsorship is going towards our project to buy and restore a piece of land for nature. Find out more about the project
