I'm beginning to plan for a coast to coast hike in (ye olde) England next summer. Will be a party of two – my brother & I. We're thinking 8 days lightweight (176 miles) unsupported/no resup.
I've got the Wainwright book, but have never actually walked any parts of this route, and won't be able to scout it out, since it will be arrive by plane, train to St Bees, one night in a B&B then onto the trail…
Anyone have experience doing this hike? What are some things to look out for?
