Hello and welcome to our coast to coast blog. This web site is designed to keep all our friends and families updated on our progress across England following Wainwrights famous coast to coast walk.

It may act as an inspiration to you or as material to laugh at us whilst we toil across England (fingers crossed for fair weather) but will definitely keep you entertained for 2 weeks starting on the 22nd May 2010.

Day 10 - Reeth To Richmond, 110 miles gone

Down Swaledale today some 13 miles and into the impressive town of
Richmond. A fabulous walk along the river and up the applegarth scar
to come into the top of Richmond.

That is now 110 miles down - 85 to go.

Unfortunately for us we had to come into Richmond on a very warm and
sunny bank holiday Monday. A good thing you would have thought but
no. It was full of pikeys in tracksuits swimming in the swale falls
and drinking cans of lager (how old do I sound). So if you weren't
smacking kids, eating chips, walking along with your shirt off or
swearing you were definately in the minority.

Thanks for all the words of support on the blog so far - Emily we have
not seen any otters yet but fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Right then off to the pub for a few pints of black sheep and then off
to Danby Wiske half way to the North Yorkshire Moors.

Helen - the ice cream was a double chocolate cone with a scoop of
Ginger and one of blueberry :-) you would have loved it xxx
