England Coast-to-Coast trail
About this event
This year’s international trek is the Coast-to-Coast trail in northern England. This classic trek passes through three national parks: the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Moors, encompassing a wide variety of landscapes including alpine lakes, pastureland, rolling hills, woodlands, meadows, moors, and rivers. For a detailed description, see the official website: https://www.coasttocoast.uk/
The full trek is about 200 miles with 29,000 feet of elevation gain, which would require a 20 day itinerary (16 hiking days with two travel days and two rest days). For most of us, that is a long time to spend on the trail, so instead we will just do a “best of” version that takes in the highlights. Our excursion will cover about 120 miles and take 13 days (10 hiking days with one rest day and two travel days). Each night we will sleep at a comfortable 2 or 3 star inn or guesthouse, in double or twin rooms, usually but not always with en suite bathrooms. Luggage will be transferred each day to the next stop, so you will hike carrying just a day pack.
The trek is rated moderately challenging. This is not the flat part of England! There will be many ascents and descents. Four days require hikes between 14.5 to 16.5 miles.
