Kirkby Stephen to Robin Hood’s Bay
Since finishing the first part of the C2C in May very few training days took place for me as there was so much going on: writing my journal, booking the next stage of the C2C, my birthday, Steve’s birthday, holidays – all on top of normal domestic / gardening duties etc. There was just enough time to check equipment and purchase any new items before we set off on the final part of our Coast 2 Coast adventure. With very little training my only apprehension was crossing the Pennines, otherwise known as the watershed or the backbone of the British Isles. I had heard, read and seen the video about the Pennines peat bogs / troughs, mud and how hard it can be crossing over from Cumbria in to the Yorkshire Dales. It was soon to be put to the test as now we were off again.
