The Coast to Coast Path

The Coast to Coast Path (C2C) traverses northern England for a total distance of 192 miles. Most walkers travel from west to east, from St. Bees on the Irish Sea to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. The path was proposed and designed by Alfred Wainwright in the 1970s. It crosses through three national parks, including the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors. Most of the walk is on park hiking trails and public footpaths through private land; there are a few stretches on paved back roads. The C2C path was originally proposed as a twelve day walk, but more days can be added to allow a more leisurely pace.

Day Four: Saturday, June 11 - A Rest Day in Grasmere

Grasmere is a pretty village in the heart of the Lakes District.  It was the home of William Wordsworth, who lies buried in this churchyard.  We enjoyed the day, taking it easy most of the time to rest our sore muscles.  

Laura remembers her girlhood days with her pink suitcase.  She is still a "bag lady" but prefers high tech computer bags these days.

Tomorrow we'll climb up this hill on the edge of town, and then follow the high route to Patterdale, our next stop on the trail.
