WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU WHO GENEROUSLY DONATED TO THE 2015 C2C4C HIKE, HELPING US RAISE OVER $25,000 FOR HUMANE EDUCATION.

The COAST TO COAST TRAIL IS THE BRAINCHILD OF ALFRED WAINWRIGHT.  

In 1972 he completed this trek across Northern England from the Cumbrian Coast to the North Sea and subsequently wrote a guidebook, which has inspired countless adventure seekers to literally follow in his footsteps.  This 190-odd mile hike (over 200 miles when adding in side trips and occasional missteps) has become one of Great Britain's most popular long-distance paths, with an estimated 10,000 people attempting the journey annually.

Wainright's Coast to Coast trail is a wonderful example of man working in harmony with nature. It is precisely this harmony with our planet and its other that we sought to highlight on our 2015 trek.

While the trail can be hiked in either direction, we took the more traditional route starting in St. Bees and hiking east to Robin Hood's Bay.  We hiked with backpacks and gear, but chose to stay in hostels and B & B's rather than campsites in order to cut down on the weight of the gear we needed to carry.  Here was our itinerary for the summer of 2015.  You can find the day to day details of our adventure in the blog section of this site.
