Coast to Coast

Steve and I are back from our trip coast to coast trip. We walked just over 200 miles across the width of northern England, starting on the coast of the Irish Sea at the town of St. Bees and ending on the coast of the North Sea at Robin Hood's Bay. It took us 16 days to do the actual walk, which covered three national parks (Lakes District Nat'l Park, Yorkshire Dales Nat'l Park and the North York Moors Nat'l Park). We took a little detour off of the usual route to walk through Tebay, too. It's a small village set on the banks of the River Lune with lots of farms and one great pub. We also spent a few days in Edinburgh before and after the walk and, due to a plane delay, ended up having an evening in Dublin as well...bonus! It was a fantastic trip - the terrain and villages were all so varied, the scenery was picturesque, and we met lots of interesting people along the way. Now we're back in NYC living at quite a different pace!
