Back in 2022 when the borders started re-opening I had grand travel plans. Plan A was to go to Portugal, but proof of COVID vaccination requirements put a stop to that. Plan B was to do Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk with Badger Adventures. This is a well known 200 mile trek across England, passing through the Lake District, then on to the Yorkshire Dales and finally across the Yorkshire Moors. As this route is (not yet) an official national trail, it isn't waymarked. I'm capable of going astray on a waymarked trail so I planned on taking a guided group tour. Sadly, they couldn't guarantee the trip would be going ahead as they have a required minimum number of hikers and, back then, people were still hesitant about travel. I ended up doing a Plan C instead.
However, this year it is back to Plan B. (Plan A will have to wait until next year). Wish me luck. I'll be updating this blog daily (assuming I can get WiFi), keeping stats on Distance Walked, Time Taken, # Times Gone Astray (should be 0 since it is guided) and Beer Drunk. I will also rate the food on a suitably English scale. From worst to best my ratings are
- Not Very Good
- Dull
- Harmless
- You Can Eat It
- Not Bad
