  • Top Tips for Walking the Coast to Coast

    Laura, our Product Manager and Coast to Coast enthusiast, shares her advice for making the most of your adventure:

    1. Plan for rest days: Take breaks in scenic villages like Grasmere or Richmond to recharge and explore.
    2. Pace yourself: Don’t rush—our itineraries range from 14-18 days or you can split the trail in half and do one section at a time over 9 days.
    3. Gear up: Proper gear can make all the difference. Gaiters for boggy sections and walking poles for steep descents are highly recommended.
    4. Prevent blisters: Use Vaseline or line your socks with sheep’s wool for extra comfort.
    5. Talk to locals: B&B owners and friendly villagers can provide invaluable tips on detours, attractions, and the best local lunch spots.
