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 14 Beak Hill to Egton Bridge - The Sock Wars

Wow what a day today. Brilliant blue skies, fab views but a very long
way!!

We left the farm early at 7.30 and soon passed over the wainstones and
had lunch at the lion inn. By mid afternoon we were extremely tired
and the day was hot but spirits were lifted seeing the coast in the
distance from the top of glaisdale moor.

A few good pints at egton bridge and some brilliant lamb cutlets later
and all is well in the world.

We are all glad that we are finishing tomorrow as the clothes
situation, particularly the socks is getting a bit desperate!! Clean
clothes have now been redefined as clothes that have been warn but do
not smell. The usual start to each day is to pick up random items of
clothing and give them a sniff to classify if they are 'clean'!!!

A mention for the Geordies who finished today - well done john for not
losing davey on the last day. Thanks for the texts letting us know
how you got on.

Can not wait to finish tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the sea
and mostly my wife Helen who has very kindly offered to pick us up
from robin hoods bay xxx
