Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now

C2C – Day 1: Saturday 2 April – ST BEES to SANDWITH (and return inland to St Bees) (8 miles)

Well, it is great to be walking at last, after all the weeks of planning! An early start today, from Rob and Christa’s home on the Wirral, our excitement mounting as we drove through the Lake District, before arriving at noon in St Bees on the Cumbrian coast.

We had decided to walk the first few miles of the C2C Walk, the cliff-top section northwards up the Irish Sea coast, a day earlier than planned, partly as a warm-up for the tougher walking of the days ahead and also to reduce the length of tomorrow’s trek. With the fine spring weather this circuit proved to be a wonderful afternoon’s walk in its own right, and a chance for Christa to share some miles with us.
