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 7 Orton To Kirkby Stephen, On To The Dales

We left Orton in high spirits today having had the best over night
stay yet at the village of Orton. We went up to paper shop for the
now customry telegraph for
John, into the little church yard hopped over the stile went on our
merry way.

The walk finished off the rest of the limestone plateau that marks the
edge of the dales (very James Herriott around here!!) and after 12
miles we arrived at the YHA in Kirkby Stephen. Kirkby is a great
place which is more than can be said for the hostel which is a
little.....dated. See below!!

We had a great meal at the forge restaurant and decided (well I did
anyway) that to forget our rubbish hostel we needed to have a few
beers. We bumped into Geordie John, Kate and Davey from north shields
in the pub and had a few drinks.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on the blog so far
and followed our progress. Errr jarvis you head would love this
little stroll!! Speak soon buddy.
