The Chalybeate

Coast to Coast, the Finish.


We finished in a haze of driving rain and mizzle which headed from Germany across the North Sea into our faces, forcing us to keep our heads covered just when we wanted to raise them and grin with a sense of achievement. This was almost the only rain that Moonface & I had experienced during the whole of the fifteen days walk across England, 192 miles / 300 km of solid trudging over many types of terrain and landscapes, from Irish Sea to North Sea.

We did it!
The last five days were remarkably easy. I don't know whether it was the sensible distances which we covered or the type of walking; all I know is that it just seemed to be almost a stroll over the last eighty or so miles from Catterick to Robin Hood's Bay. Perhaps we are just fitter.

And on to the next walk. But what could be more satisfying than to walk across the width of an island country?
