You Are Here: a Coast to Coast novel | <i>David Nicholls</i>

You Are Here: Overview

Sometimes you need to get lost to find your way . . .

Michael is coming undone. Adrift after his wife's departure, he has begun taking himself on long, solitary walks across the English countryside. Becoming ever more reclusive, he’ll do anything to avoid his empty house.

Marnie, on the other hand, is stuck. Hiding alone in her London flat, she avoids old friends and any reminders of her rotten, selfish ex-husband. Curled up with a good book, she’s battling the long afternoons of a life that feels like it’s passing her by.

When a persistent mutual friend and some very unpredictable weather conspire to toss Michael and Marnie together on the most epic of ten-day hikes, neither of them can think of anything worse. Until, of course, they discover exactly what they’ve been looking for.

Michael and Marnie are on the precipice of a bright future . . . if they can survive the journey.

About the Coast to Coast trail

Devised by renowned walker and writer Alfred Wainwright in 1973, the Coast to Coast Walk is the most famous long-distance trail in UK. The Coast to Coast Walk uses a network of public footpaths tracks, permissive paths and access land to cross England’s huge variety of landscapes, terrain, villages and three unique national parks – the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.

Starting in the tiny Cumbrian seaside village of St Bees, the trail climbs steeply into the Lake District National Park, home to spectacular lake and mountain scenery, before crossing classic rolling farmland, the Pennine Hills and the mystical cairns atop Nine Standards Rigg.

Follow the beautiful River Swale to the historic market town of Richmond before leaving the Yorkshire Dales to cross the low-lying Vale of Mowbray and linking up with the North York Moors National Park. From here the trail undulates spectacularly before depositing you at Robin Hood's Bay.

As you make your way across the Coast to Coast trail on foot or by bike, enjoy staying in specially handpicked hotels, guesthouses and pubs, where you’ll come to appreciate just how much a full English breakfast will set you up for a long day of walking or cycling.

Experience the diversity of England by choosing a guided or self guided walking or cycling trip on the Coast to Coast trail.

About the Coast to Coast Trail

Across the 20th century, as outdoor pursuits into nature suddenly became sought out in the face of war and constant industrialisation, few embraced this new escape as much as Alfred Wainwright. Walker, author and illustrator, his name is now synonymous with English hillwalking, and his seven pictorial guides to the Lake District are a must for any curious walker.

Endlessly curious, whilst he spent much of his time walking and drawing the Lakeland fells, the day came when he set out east, drawn by the allure of walking from sea to sea. By 1973, he had created and published a brand new guide, detailing the now famous Coast to Coast route in a suggested 12 stages.

Known as a profound soul who cared deeply about the places he described, as well as one who found solace in the company of the hills, Wainwright was in many ways ahead of his time. This is only shown further by the fact the Coast to Coast route he proposed was technically illegal when he first suggested it, as it had to cross through private property. Uproar ensued, until the right to roam was established in 2000, confirming the general public's right to access certain public or privately owned land, lakes, and rivers for recreational purposes.

Early morning, starting a day of walking | <i>John Millen</i>

Wainwright saw something that most at the time didn’t - that the UK’s natural journeys should be open to all. It took 25 years, but his Coast to Coast route was now officially possible. Fast forward again to 2022, when the route became one of the recognised national trails of the UK, and it’s clear to see this iconic journey is something truly worth seeing.

What’s the Coast to Coast route like?

The Coast to Coast starts from St Bees in Cumbria on the west coast and finishes at Robin Hood’s Bay on the Heritage Coast of the North Walk Moors. The walk is a good distance at 192.2 miles (309.3km) long - and offers a serious challenge with 6,077, (19,933ft) of ascent.

Typically it’s completed over roughly 2 weeks (self-guided or with a guide and small group), though there are variations possible where you can complete it in segments or 18 day ramblers too. Whilst there’s something special about completing the entire route, crossing the width of an entire country on foot, there are definitely highlights, which means it’s more than possible to enjoy some of the best bits by completing just a portion of the route from the west coast too.

Walkers can choose either direction to complete the journey in, but we recommend west to east. Not only will you be following in Wainwright’s footsteps, who intended the route to be walked this way, but you’ll get the serious ascent and descent of the Lakeland fells out of the way early on while you’re fresh too. You might even take advantage of the weather, as prevailing winds from the Atlantic give you a helping hand on your way east.

Where does the Coast to Coast trail take you?

The journey begins in St Bees, a stunning little coastal gem on the northwest coast. To commemorate the beginning of this epic journey, walkers dip their hands or wet their boots in the Irish Sea, pick up a stone to drop in Robin Hood's Bay and stop by the famous C to C monument found by the lifeboat station.

From there, cliffside tracks and paths through fields ease you in before you the fells start in earnest. Travelling through green foothills, the path heads through Ennerdale, one of the UK’s most beautiful and quiet valleys, before crossing over Wainwright’s favourite hill, Haystacks. This section in the Lake District is definitely the hardest of the trek, but it’s also one of the most beautiful too. The route takes low-level paths through the region’s most iconic fells, with options to reach the summits for the keenest hillwalkers.

Through Borrowdale, Grasmere and then under Helvellyn, the route brings you to Patterdale and then to the high village of Shap via a few more steep ascents and descents - and a beautiful walk along the shores of Haweswater too. Here the landscape changes, from the peaks of the Lake District to the dramatic limestone plateau of Westmoreland.

Dramatic moors and vast landscapes now sweep you up and over to the picturesque green troughs of the Yorkshire Dales. Entering Swaledale, the ascent and descent eases off as pastoral green countryside takes over. Grazing sheep and beautiful market towns are plentiful here, as you pass through Reeth and Richmond, before heading into the North York Moors.

A final challenge of the Cleveland hills followed by a warren of woodland paths, old coach roads and moors deliver you finally to the charismatic east coast, and your final destination in Robin Hood’s Bay. Reach the sea, nod your head to the plaque which commemorates the route's end - then quickly head into the Bay Hotel pub for your well-earned finishing brew.

How difficult is the Coast to Coast?

The Coast to Coast is a respectable challenge, with any walker attempting it needing to take into consideration the ascent and descent that comes with the Lake District hills.

It’s full of variety however - expect a combination of stunning mountain trails, weaving up and down Lakeland fells, moorland tracks, pastoral paths through fields of rolling hills, wandering country lanes and tree-covered bridleways. This means there are paths all the way and it’s more than possible for most walkers, but the sections through both the Lake District simply mean you’ll want to be prepared for some decent ascent and descent along the way.

The other challenging factor is the weather. Naturally, being in the UK, you can expect a chance of rain and some exposure to the elements in the higher-altitude areas. But, it’s nothing you won’t be able to deal with, especially knowing that at your accommodation you’ll be welcomed by owners used to muddy boots and soggy raincoats in desperate need of a drying room.

Food and Drink on the Coast to Coast

Everything from hearty pub grub to modern fine dining can be found along the route, with plenty of choices as you go. As you’ll pass through so many unique places in the UK though, look out for the regional delicacies you’ll find along the way. Compare fish and chips from both coasts at the start and the finish; visit the famous Grasmere gingerbread shop and stock up on spiced gingerbread and Kendal Mint Cake to fuel your hikes; look out for pubs that use the famous Swaledale Butchers for some local beef, lamb or game; and of course, sample beers from independent breweries all across the north.

Combine the Coast to Coast Walk with a Liverpool City Break

Before spending days in the rural countryside, it’s ideal to enjoy a city break first - especially one you can warm up for your walk with by exploring on foot. It’s a simple matter to get to your starting point in Cumbria via one of the west coast of England’s most fascinating cities: Liverpool.

Thanks to a recent period of committed urban regeneration, Liverpool has fast become an iconic place to enjoy a day - and night - out in the UK. A revamped waterfront, architecture dripping with industrial chic, an astounding variety of shops and restaurants and some famously friendly locals will make sure you’ll remember your visit.

Visit Albert Dock, and, after a coffee overlooking the water, choose from any of these iconic institutions to fill your morning: the Tate Liverpool, the Maritime Museum or the International Slavery Museum. It’s here you’ll get your first taste of Liverpool’s Beatles heritage too, learning about their humble beginnings through the award-winning museum, The Beatles Story.

Round your day off by a visit to Liverpool Cathedral to gain an insight even further into the past, before your evening begins. There’s plenty to choose from for your evening meal, from top-rated Turkish cuisine to trendy gastro-pubs which thrive on local ingredients. And at the end of the day, a cocktail or two on the waterfront rounds off your Liverpool experience perfectly.

England’s Coast to Coast has clearly earned its famed place as one of the best long-distance walks in the world. Encompassing some of the finest sights and experiences the UK has to offer, it’s a challenge that comes with a guarantee it’ll be more than worth the effort.

Coast to Coast to become a British National Trail

In exciting news, the Coast to Coast is to become a National Trail of the United Kingdom. National Trails get additional government funding that goes towards path maintenance and signposting, and it will attract even more walkers. They are way-marked by an acorn, which is the symbol of the National Trails.

As mentioned in a press release by the UK Government, Natural England will work alongside partners to improve the popular route, with £5.6 million committed to upgrade the 197-mile path. This includes funding set aside to develop a community engagement programme and maximise economic and health benefits for local people and businesses.

Traveller Reviews of the Coast to Coast

My friends and I had a wonderful experience and will definitely consider using them again for future trips. Our Coast to Coast walk was extremely well organized in terms of scheduling and luggage transfers. We were also very pleased with the accommodations. Partnering with an organised trip literally took a weight off our backs and made the walk much more enjoyable. Thank you!!

After postponements of 2 years due to Covid, we finally got to do our C2C ramblers trip. It proved to be everything we were hoping for and more. The hiking was demanding for 2 fit 65 years olds but we were well prepared thanks to the wonderful help of your staff. It was a wonderful trip that we would highly recommend.

The communication and lodging were both excellent. Lodging owners all loved working with Trina, as did I. She found us lodging wherever the walk took us whereas many others on the trail had to take taxis at the end of the day. I’m convinced Trina works magic because of her relationships with owners. Highly recommended!

John Millen's Top 5 Walks in Europe

John Millen's Top 5 Trails in Europe

To many, Jon Millen (pictured below) has one of the best jobs in the world. For over 20 years he has walked Europe’s most spectacular, popular, and off-the-beaten track trails while researching new walking trips, leading tour groups (you might've been on one!), and updating route notes.

Beautiful mountainous landscapes of Gosausee, Austria

So, what are his five favourite walks in Europe? We asked him.

Over to you, John...

1. The Alpine Pass Route - Switzerland

This sensational walk cuts right through the highland heart of Switzerland. There is some tough walking but you are compensated by incredible views and comfortable accommodations at the end of the day.

The flowers in July especially are amazing and it is always novel watching local farmers often using hand tools: rakes and scythes, to cut the hay in the smaller fields. There are aspects of the trip which are more like a mountain journey rather than a walk, so only the fit need apply! The Alpine Pass Route is available in three forms:

> View the Alpine Pass Route - 14 days

> View the Alpine Pass Route Highlights - 8 days
> View the Via Alpina trip - 8 days

2. Exploring the Haute Provence - France

Anticline on the Verdon River, Haute Provence

This walk has been a staple trip for me since 1997 when I first escorted a group of Australians there!

The weather has generally been beaut providing luminous skies, clear long views and it has been interesting to see how the villages have changed over time. This is a trip of scenic contrasts, cultural and historic interests and impressive natural features. It is also highly photogenic!

The self guided Walking in Haute Provence departs between 1 May and October.

3 - The Way of St. James - France

Walkers resting in Conques on the Way of St James, France

Part of the longer Camino de Santiago, this beautiful walk in France is an entity unto itself.

Le Puy and Conques were points of pilgrimage in themselves and are simply beautiful places that everyone must experience once. Again it’s the journey feel to the trip I love. I was surprised how the landscape unfolded like a map each day: rolling hills, sweeping valleys, forests and high moor. The walk ‘joins the dots’ alighting at points which were there for pilgrims 500-1000 years ago.

Join a self guided trip along The Way of St James, with trips departing between May and October.

> View all French Way of St James trips
> Cycle the French Way of St James

4 - Coast to Coast - England

Being English, how could I leave this off the list? The Coast to Coast is another mountain journey par excellence.

Wainwright’s classic is in my mind a masterpiece which keeps a lot of the smaller villages that you’ll visit alive. In reasonable weather there is a huge variety of scenery and although we do not have time zones in the U.K you cross through about seven beer zones as the different breweries become more prominent in the different locations!

There is a camaraderie and sense of achievement on this tour which few walks will have. You might not have the three National Parks to yourself, but you can go for long periods without seeing a soul.

Walk it all, cycle it or try a smaller section, there are many ways to experience the Coat to Coast.

5. Any trail in Tuscany

What I love most about our Tuscan walks is that you can feel how merchants and soldiers would have walked between the mediaeval hill towns, many remarkably well preserved.

There is normally a lot of exposure to the sun on these trips as you are walking on the high ‘cretes’ or chalky ridges, but once you have sorted that with the right hat and clothing, things are fine.

The hill towns are of course fascinating, but equally as interesting are coming across tiny chapels and vineyards. The views are sweeping, and if you can afford the Brunello wines, get one, they are to die for.

Experiences of Hiking England's Coast to Coast

Prolific UTracks Traveller Ken shares his insights on walking the Coast to Coast on a self guided tour

If you're interested in walking one of England's premier walks, look no further than the Coast to Coast. This splendid hike begins in the seaside village of St Bees and continues over the Lake District National Park, the Pennine Hills, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors National Park before ending in Robin's Hood Bay. It's also known as Wainwright's Way after the renowned walker and writer created the long distance trail in 1973.

In this article, UTracks Traveller Ken Harris describes what hiking the Coast to Coast trail in England is like. He walked the trail in June 2019.

How would you describe the walking on the Coast to Coast trail?

The Coast to Coast is a mix of walking on mountain trails, country lanes and everything in between.

The first few days in the Lakes District takes you along off-road trails which in some parts are not well signposted. Map reading is essential here and if bad weather is present, then the high passes become dangerous as visibility can be as low as 20 metres (from my own experience on the trail). In these situations, it is best to stick with other walkers on the trail to help identify the trail and markers.

Fortunately, I was on the self guided tour with UTracks and had been given a combination of maps and route book which makes most of the walk easily identifiable. The Coast to Coast trail, after leaving the Lake District, becomes a combination of road and field walking with a more gently undulating landscape (but still challenging).

The Dales and the Moors combine to test you in different ways, and if rain is about, then the “bogs” become very interesting. Ensure good boots and also keep your gaiters handy.

As you get closer to the eastern coast, the landscape flattens but the days become longer. The Coast to Coast explores the Lakes, Dales and Moors so it gives you a good mix of the three landscapes. Plus endless photographic opportunities.

How did you prepare for the Coast to Coast self guided tour?

Besides walking the GHT (Great Himalaya Trail across Nepal) the year before, my preparation was walking 5 days a week (8 to 10 km) to get into the routine of multi-day walking.

Coast to Coast hikers descending into Borrowdale | <i>John Millen</i>

What was the English landscape you walked through like?

The Coast to Coast covers the Lake District (steep and hilly at times), the Dales (a gentler landscape) and the Moors (the “bogs”).

Each has its own beauty and I found the Moors held the greater attraction for me.

Other parts of the trail in the Dales were quite pleasant and I thoroughly enjoyed walking from village to village. Little villages like Orton and Mukey were a pleasant surprise along Wainwright's Way.

What was the overall trip highlight on the Coast to Coast?

Besides being able to say you walked from the Irish Sea to the North Sea across England, I guess it was a mixture of highlights.

The wonderful landscapes of the Lakes, Dales and Moors; the quaint villages along the way; the mixture of accommodation from hotels to B&Bs, and the big English breakfasts each day. But also the people you meet along the way, from locals to other walkers, and hearing the tales each of them brings to the Coast to Coast.

What was your favourite food on the Coast to Coast walking tour?

Scrambled eggs with real smoked salmon. Any time of the day I would be very keen to eat that. Or a Full English Breakfast.

Did you have a favourite accommodation on the Coast to Coast tour?

Quite a few places were on my list, like the Ivy Cottage B&B in Reeth, Cordilleras House in Richmond, Thorntree B&B in Ennerdale Bridge and the Brampton Grange Hotel. But the Forge Lodge at Chop Gate had the perfect breakfast.

B&B's are a welcome sight at the end of a long days walk | <i>Jac Lofts</i>

What surprised you the most about Wainwright's Way?

It was a lot harder than I imagined. The signposting in the Lake District was not as good as it could be (they are concerned it could detract from the beauty of the area).

The fact that the Coast to Coast is better known by overseas visitors than the locals. I was often asked the question by the locals: what trail are you walking? Every overseas visitor would always reply: this is the “Coast to Coast”.

What aspect of the Coast to Coast trip did you find the most challenging?

A couple of days in the Lake District with low visibility due to bad weather meant that you had to be on your a-game to ensure you were on the correct path.

Any advice for other travellers thinking about hiking the Coast to Coast trail?

It is a great walk, but it is also challenging. Take your time to enjoy it.

If visibility is low – enjoy the day but don’t risk yourself by taking on a trail that might be hard to identify.

It’s not all walking from village to village, but some days are hard work. Although all the efforts are incredibly rewarding.

Make sure you have a good breakfast and carry some snacks – some days, lunch is a while away.

Boots are essential, for both the Lake District and the “bog” in the Moors.

Stop and explore each village – some places are real gems.

Don’t read the notes too far ahead, as it can confuse you. I found that checking the next day’s notes the night before helped me focus on each day only.

How To Choose the Right Coast to Coast Tour For You

How To Choose The Right Coast To Coast Tour For You

This helpful guide to Wainwright's Way in England will help you pick the best tour

England's Coast to Coast is one of the world’s most iconic walks and is on the bucket list for most keen hikers.

It's also referred to as Wainright's Walk, named after Alfred Wainwright, the author of a well-known series of mountain-walking guide books on the Lake District. Among his books is the first guide ever written on the Coast to Coast walk that spans the complete breadth of England.

As specialists on this classic English hike, UTracks offers a number of affordable guided and self guided walking and cycling tour options. This handy reference guide has been designed to help you select the right trip for you.

What Exactly is the Coast to Coast Walk?

England’s Coast to Coast walk crosses from West to East on one of the narrowest parts of the island. The route begins on the Cumbrian coastal town of St Bees, which overlooks the Irish Sea. It crosses through three national parks; the Lake District National Park, Yorkshire Dales National Park and North York Moors National Park, before finally reaching picturesque Robin Hood’s Bay overlooking the North Sea.

What are my walking tour options for the Coast to Coast?

You can choose from a self guided walk or a guided small group experience. The various full trail trip options on offer essentially differ in duration, from 15 to 18 days. Or, you can break it up into two smaller stages, from St Bees to Kirkby Stephen, or from Kirby Stephen to Robin Hood’s Bay.

**It's only England; it can't be that hard, right?**

Wrong. Experienced trekkers have stated they have found the Coast to Coast Walk more difficult than climbing Kilimanjaro or trekking to Everest Base Camp. This is because of the distances covered, an average of 24kms each day on the shorter walk.

Backing that up over 2 weeks – without a rest day - it is important to consider your fitness before undertaking this challenging walk. All our full trail Coast to Coast Walks are graded at the higher end of our grading scale, moderate to challenging and challenging. Check out our honest Trip Grading System for how we define our trips.

Watch our inspiring video on the Coast to Coast for the full armchair experience.

What's the most Challenging Coast to Coast Walk?

The shortest version, our 15-day Coast to Coast Walk (available as both escorted and self-guided). It’s the most challenging version of the Coast to Coast Walk because you do the full length of the route in just 13 days of walking. The walking distances and times are longer than on any of our other trips.

What's the Least Challenging Coast to Coast Walk?

The longer 18-day self guided Rambler tour of the Coast to Coast Walk allows the slowest pace. Walking distances are shorter so you have more time to rest and take in the scenery. Of course, on self guided trips it’s possible to add in extra rest days in any of our itineraries, just talk to us about your needs.

I'm Interested in a Self Guided Coast to Coast walking tour. What's the Signage like along the Route?

The Coast to Coast Walk varies in its signage. The walk is not an official long distance footpath and because of that there are no official waymarks. When you pass through the towns and villages, most often you will find wooden sign posts.

In the Dales there are some Coast-2-Coast signs and in the Cleveland Hills you can partially follow certain waymarks. However, especially in the Lake District and in parts of the Dales, you must be prepared as there are no waymarks whatsoever. The Coast to Coast crosses a number of other routes such as the Cumbrian Way and Herriot Way so you can’t assume the person in front of you is going the same way.

We provide you with comprehensive route notes and maps, which we have refined over many years. Combine this with our luggage transfers and it makes sense to organise your individual walking experience with us.

I am short on time. Which Coast to Coast walking tour can I do?

Break the trail into two sections – or consider cycling it (see further on). You walk the first part of the route, from St Bees to Kirkby Stephen, in eight days. This stretch shows you the Lake District and is considered the most scenic section of the Coast to Coast Walk.

The first few days will take you over some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain of the Lake District. You will also pass Helvellyn (950m), England’s third highest mountain. You can decide to walk to the summit on a detour and on a clear day you may be able to see Scotland and Wales from its summit.

Then come back another time to complete the Kirkby Stephen to Robin Hood’s Bay stage, which takes 9 days.

Will I miss anything if I walk the Classic 15 Day Coast to Coast tour?

In principle, all trips follow the same route. However, there are very minor differences between the 15 to 18 day routes in that you follow slightly different paths in order to arrive in a village on time. Whether you choose to walk the classic 15 day route or one of the extended versions, you will still take in all the important villages, sights and wonderful nature. The main difference is the walking pace.

I'm more of a cycling person...

There is a cyclist’s Coast to Coast – referred to as C2C or Sea-to-Sea - available as well. It covers a different route and embraces different scenery. This is a 6 day self guided cycling tour that offers superb cycling amidst the Lake District's great scenery.

Can I start in Robin Hood's Bay instead?

All our Coast to Coast Walks travel from West (St Bees) to East (Robin Hood’s Bay). This follows Wainwright’s original description of the walk and is the way all the guidebooks describe the trail. If you follow this direction, you’ll have the prevailing winds in your back and towards the end of the day, the sun won't hinder your vision.
