Thrown straight back into a full house of guests, it’s been a very busy few weeks!! But I’ve been constantly enjoying the incredible memories and moments we made along the way! And of course thinking hard about our next adventure!! ![]()
Here’s my Top 10 Tips…..if you decide to take up the #c2c challenge…![]()
🥾Have a Prosecco every night🥂![]()
🥾Make sure you soak your feet every single night for 10minutes, then massage them and moisturise! If your feet are ok you’re way ahead!!!![]()
🥾Vary your breakfast and don’t overeat!! Porridge is fantastic!![]()
🥾Pork pies are great for lunch!![]()
🥾Boiled sweets and sherbet lemons are great little boosters in the afternoon … especially on the last 6 miles to the Lion inn at Blakey!!!!!![]()
🥾Travel light but carefully… you don’t need as much as you think!![]()
🥾Use your phone for photos only and family contact….. opt out of everything else especially daily news!!! It gives you time, space and freedom for your mind !!!!![]()
🥾Enjoy the focus of where you are going … and literally putting one foot in front of the other!!![]()
🥾Look at your map and embrace the route, no matter what it throws at you!! ![]()
🥾See the beauty around you, regardless of the weather… the huge panoramic views to a single leaf on a path! ![]()
🥾Be liberated, elated, proud and …. basically be pretty chuffed with yourself!! ![]()
![]()
What an adventure and life changing experience! Not to be missed, so glad I have achieved this… and hopefully I will do it again one day! ![]()
If you feel the vibe to walk the #c2c … plan, prepare and then #justdoit!!!!! ![]()

🥾Lots of drizzle and a very strong wind as we push up the big hill and then across the open moors!![]()
🥾Dropping into Littlebeck following a wonderful woodland trail as we aim for Falling Foss Tearooms and our morning treat! Passing the Hermitage deep in the woods, an unusual cave dated 1700.![]()
🥾Such a beautiful setting at the waterfall, great coffee… nice and hot…. and catching up with fellow walkers! Also an impressive loo with a view and pretty heart lights!! ![]()
🥾Another cheeky try from Mike “the path goes over the river… just walk over that tree trunk!” He says!!!! I nearly had a go!!! Waaah!!! ![]()
🥾Up and out of the trees and onto the Graystone Hills, catching glimpses of the sea!!!! Lots of bog.., worse than near the Nine Standards!!!! And the isolated tree!!! ![]()

![]()
🥾We arrive in the very picturesque village of Robin Hoods Bay and work our way down the steep hill to the beach…. Shins and feet aching a little! On the beach I find my little pebble that has been safely carried all the way along! Yvette takes some fab pics of me throwing it into the sea … you can see the pebble flying through the air!! ![]()
We celebrate!!! ![]()
We tumble into the Bay Hotel and the other customers are so friendly and keen to hear of our adventure!! Ordering our fizz, (at 4pm but hey ho!!!) they even give us a round of applause!! ![]()
So glad we decided to stay the night here, giving us time to reflect and saviour what we have done!! ![]()
I cannot thank my friends enough Mike Frazer and Yvette Frazer and gorgeous Ruby the dog, for taking on the challenge of getting me across the trail in one piece!!! They are experts, with so much knowledge having walked the #c2c 16 and 8 times!!!! Ruby was brilliant every single day and probably walked double the distance!!! ![]()
And thanks to my Joe Halsall for totalling supporting me to do this challenge!! ![]()
And The Coast to Coast Packhorse … thanks so much for getting our bags to us every day… it is a wonderful sight to see your case at the end of a walk! Thankyou x ![]()
