After all your excellent advice, I've decided to do the Coast to Coast. I know I don't have too much time to prepare, but what the hell!
Can anyone recommend a good modern guidebook for the Coast to Coast, something completely inclusive?
I'm predicting I'll be starting it Saturday, June 21st. I will definitely be taking my time (I found a 17 day itinerary) Haven't quite decided which direction: West to East is more popular because of weather, East to West seems more appealing to me because of difficulty (the lakes being last will give me some time to find my rhythm!).
