Three over 70s are ready to start the Coast to Coast walk across UK. Colin is somewhere between Thailand and UK, Don leaves US for Manchester tomorrow and I leave for London then by train to Liverpool (to stay with sister) on Saturday.
Hopefully we will all meet up in St Bees on the west coast at about 2 p.m. on Monday to start our 200 mile trip.
For me it will be my third trip of a walk I enjoy, for the others it will be a new experience.
The training is hopefully completed, just the carbo loading to go and a few full English breakfasts will accomplish that.
Monday will just be a simple 5 miles around the headland to Sandwith with a bus back to St Bees and out again Tuesday when the hard slog begins.
The last time I did the walk (east to west) was 6 years ago - a significant time at our age so it will be interesting to see if I still have the energy to average 14 miles a day for two weeks.
