The full version of the journal with pictures added and spelling mistakes removed, is now available on the website: http://www.lonewalker.walkingplaces.co.uk/walks/c2c2011.htm This is an East to West account, taking 13 days in June. I often didn’t walk the traditional route between stops, so this may not be a whole lot of use to anyone planning a …

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who’s commented on the blog over the last few days. I’m pleased you seemed to enjoy what I had to say and I really enjoyed reading them. I’ll try and answer all the questions you posed in the next couple of days once I get home and have …

Friday 24th June – Ennerdale Bridge to St. Bees Today I shall mostly be trying not to embarrass myself by dancing to “Walk On Water” by Otis Taylor. The job’s done, holiday complete, I’ve tramped from one coast of England to the other; about 200 miles and 40,000 feet of ascent in thirteen fabulous days. …

Thursday 23rd June – Stonethwaite to Ennerdale Bridge Today I shall mostly be pretending to surf to “Walk, Don’t Run” by The Ventures. Day Twelve I had another cracking nights sleep, the double bed helped I’m sure, but the people sharing the bathroom with me did not. They were in it about 6 or 7 …

Tuesday 21st June – Patterdale to Grasmere Today I shall mostly be pogo-ing aggressively to “Walking Distance” by Buzzcocks. I had one of those moments this morning where you see how other people behave and wonder if you’re actually looking in a mirror – could that be how other people see me? It was over …

Monday 20th June – Shap to Patterdale Today I shall mostly be bouncing lightly along to “Walking On The Moon” by The Police. The best day of the walk so far, by a long way – but I was absolutely shattered (again) at the end of it. I’m still not convinced my fitness is anywhere …

Damn, it’s hard trying to pick up a diary entry a day later, I’ve done so much in the middle that I’ve forgotten where I was up to and lost my train of thought. I’ll do my best though or my brother will start moaning. I can add photos from day eight though, I have …
