Here’s a description of the walk:<\/p>\n
This classic route was originated and described by the celebrated A.Wainwright, author of a well-known series of mountain-walking guide books on the English Lake District.\u00a0 The route is 190 miles long, which works out at an average of 14.5 miles per day. Shorter days occur early in the tour, where steep gradients and rough going are encountered during the crossing of several high passes in the Lake District. The days get longer towards the end of the tour, with 24 miles, mostly on level ground, between Richmond and Osmotherley being followed by a day of 21 miles over the Cleveland Hills and North York Moors.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n As well as providing a challenge, the route is renowned for its variety of beautiful scenery. Particular highlights include the idyllic lakeland valley of Borrowdale, the historic cobbled streets and market square of Richmond, and the marvellous heather-covered plateaux of the North York Moors. For a sustained walking tour such as this, with often rough going underfoot, steep gradients and long days, a good standard of fitness is required before starting. Boots should be broken-in and feet accustomed to wearing them during the period just before the tour.<\/em> before she left, i told her that at least she won’t be trying to ride a bike up the hills.\u00a0 there’s something very appealing about the thought of walking, but i do want to take another bike trip sometime, because i like covering more ground.\u00a0 but then again, when it comes right down to it, does covering more ground really matter?<\/p>\n last night she stayed in a town called Newbiggin on Lune.<\/p>\n
\nit’s a similar kind of thing to our bike trips, where her luggage is transported from hotel to hotel each day.\u00a0 the difference, though, is that this company lets you choose your hotels at each place you stop.\u00a0 this is a great feature, because you could book a really nice place, or a cheap place, and you could thoroughly research all the places before going.\u00a0 it also lets you choose how many miles you walk each day.\u00a0 i think she’s doing the most hardcore walk, with lots of miles, even on very hilly days.<\/p>\n
