Cheers Dave. Blisters gone now;you quickly learn to make the effort and not ignore the hotspots when you realise you still have a long way to go.  O0

Wakey wakey. Yes, finished yesterday. Not sure about the TR, but I expect we'll post a few (of the very many pics once I get home tomorrow). Just enjoying a couple of days post-walk pampering in a spa hote in York; feel sorry for the person who is due to give me a pedicure tomorrow, I hope they enjoy a challenge  ;D

Well done alewife and mountaingirl.  :)  Have you got the bug now and planning your next one? When we sat in Keld Lodge in 2011 on the C2C chatting to other walkers, I commented to my husband that he'd have to do the Pennine Way on his own as that was too big a one for me. So last year we were both in
Keld again - walking the Pennine Way. I couldn't sit at home while he walked it.  ;D

Interesting question. Not sure about doing another. I am thinking of doing the southwest coast path, but planning to do it in small chunks, maybe 4 or 5 days a month. I live in the SW so its easy enough for me to do it. I have realised that maybe the flaw in forming LDPs is that they all have quite boring bits. So I will probably just pick and choose places to walk. But, never say never.

Well done to you both, sounds like you had a brilliant time.


To be honest ( :-[ ) I've only just spotted this post and wished I'd picked up on it a lot earlier: But, I was wondering how come things were so quiet on here & beginning to wonder where you'd skived off to: thought perhaps you'd gone searching for AB  ;D


Have a good rest then start thinking about doing it backwards.

How do you "rest backwards"?

Belatedly... to say Hello I'm back  :D   I was busy unpacking and sorting my life back home yesterday.
I can't believe we had such sunny C2C in the lakes and moors, only had a couple of cloudy days but no rain except the last day before we set off but it stopped as we started walking. We had clear view of hills and mountains incl Nine Standards and all other paths. What are supposed to be wet and boggy fields were dry;  only the last day at Graystone hills, it was boggy, but I managed to avoid my boots getting wet.
My favourite... ::)   it is hard to pick one, but I do like mountains, hills and lakes. When I go up hill, it motivates me and gives me purpose to get there, lifts my spirit, looking forward to seeing the new scenery. On flat ground, I get bored, especially when it is too straight and grey in moors, not much changes. One of my favourites would be at Angle Tarn off Patterdale.
I imagined I would be hobbling into RHB on my last legs, but no.   No blister, just the tip of one of my toes was hurting. If I had to walk another day, I would have happily walked.
Do I want to do it again from opposite direction?... We had such a great weather, and difficult to beat it on the next one. Maybe the wind could blow in favour :P   What was supposed to be 'prevailing wind behind' didn't happen. It was always against us :o
Detailed TR could be at later date when I sorted my life, (or Deb could do it for us  ;)  but for now, I put a photo link for the evidence. Can anybody see it? If not, somebody can tell me how to upload google photo to this website.
