We, Mary and Graham, were introduced to Wainwright’s guides by the owners of a Lakeland cottage we stayed at in 1986, and walked his route along the Fellbarrow–Low Fell ridge. Decades later we were researching long distance walks and came across Wainwright’s Coast to Coast – we were hooked. When...
Hans is a self-proclaimed “cloggie”, who left the polder and took to the hills – which probably means a lot more to our Dutch readers than it does to the rest of us. But reading between the lines it sounds like Hans has abandoned the flatlands of the Netherlands to...
Our names are Mark and Rachel. We are Sussex born and bred and have lived in Mid Sussex for all our married lives. Both of us have always had a love of the Great Outdoors but on our honeymoon in the Brecon Beacons in 1984 I thought that perhaps hill...

Hello. that’s me, Richard, not far from Angle Tarn. It was during my Coast to Coast in May 2009. I did it with a mate David (who took the photo). I also kept a diary, which I thought someone, somewhere might enjoy reading – hence this site. If you find...
herd of turtles: n. a group of friends who walk long distance paths together. Identifiable by their slow pace, general faffing about, and unwillingness to walk more than 15 miles a day. My name is Sarah and I’ve decided to record our escapades. I get many questions from friends and...
I am a thirty-something author of teenage fiction (soon to branch into adult crime) living in London and working as a Facilities Officer for a major publishing company. I had a interest in walking the Pennine Way for some years and finally got around to tackling it with my brother...
Matt and Dave; two 50+ guys walking the Coast to Coast to raise money for the “Christine McFarlane Nurses Training School”. This journal was written live, each night, after they finished walking Go to this journal
52 years old and feel a lot fitter than when I was 22 years old. I’m single and have no children and try to live my life to the best I can, that is walking and cycling. I live in Stockton on Tees, where I’m pretty lucky to have the...
This site will start off with Tim and Elspeth’s Coast to Coast adventure, and will combine two of my passions, one new (photography) and one as old as the hills (um, the hills). My third, playing the tuba, will probably not feature too highly except by gifting the site a...
We are five grandmothers Heather, Jenny, Val, Di and Celia, who all enjoy walking and have teamed up to do the coast to coast walk in support of Twin teenage boys with cerebral palsy who need new wheelchairs, The National Society for Phenylketonuria (nspku), and the Campaign to Save our...
