Coast to Coast Walk

David. Fearless Leader

I am just back from helping Lionheart Tours guide a lovely group of Americans on the above walk. It is one of the top ten walks in the world and in my view fully deserves that accolade. Passing through three national parks from Irish Sea to North Sea it is truly beautiful. It is also a challenging walk, quite tough and not always easy to follow. This trip however was blessed with exceptionally good weather and visibility so route finding was not as difficult as it can be in rain and low cloud. I feel privileged to have been with this group and to make new friends. Also with David ( Lionheart Tours ) providing a historical overview during the walk I looked at this wonderful country with new eyes and through my American friends eyes. To all those fine people I say thank you for the many interesting conversations, for your good humour and above all for your patience with my occasional navigating errors.
