THE FINAL DAY!!!!!!! Sure enough when I went down to breakfast who should join me but the brother/sister team. We had a longer breakfast than normal, knowing this was our last day and trying to savor it all. I met
Day 16 | Lion Inn to Grosmont | Coast to Coast
Ran into my pals the brother and sister, along with the German dad and daughter team for breakfast. We said our hellos but I was first to breakfast and first out the door but not before I kept saying to
Day 15 | Clay Bank Tops to The Lion Inn | Coast to Coast
As many of you know, I’ve struggled with serious health issues the past decade. And they’re not over. Even a year ago I didn’t have the strength to do this hike. So I’m hyper vigilant and hyper aware of how

Day Nine | Keld to Reeth | Coast to Coast
Officially at the halfway point! 100 miles down, 100 more to miles to go. I wish I maybe took more of a moment to recognize how INSANELY awesome it was that me, someone who has never hiked 2 days in
Day Eight | Kirby Stevens to Keld | Coast to Coast
Since I was the only guest at my B&B I had the choicest seat by the big bay window for my breakfast. Anna walked by as I was eating and we waved and I felt all cool to be recognizing
