After 100 miles the next challenge was to walk 200 miles solo. This was accomplished on the Coast to Coast Walk devised by Wainwright and passing through three national parks, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. It took 13 days to walk from St Bees and the Irish Sea to Robin Hoods Bay and the North Sea. Again, there were lots of memorable moments on this trip, but Lakeland was my favourite, and my arrival at Robin Hoods Bay stands out as an emotional moment.
