The Second of Three

Cockburnspath to Eyemouth - 19 August 2023 This is the second of three walks along the coast that we have planned to do this year. Our first one was back in May when we walked from Runswick Bay to Saltburn on the North York Moors. Our last walk along the coast will be in December when we will be walking…

Not Quite Cockermouth

Cockermouth to Braithwaite - 5 August 2023 We have done routes from Braithwaite to Cockermouth in the past, the last time was in 2018.

The last time we were walking in this area was in 2013 when we finished in Horton…

North Yorkshire Moors

The First of Three

We are walking in the North York Moors on this trip, in August we are along the coast in the Scottish Borders and in December we are on the coast in Northumberland. The three routes which we have planned all…
