The Wainwrights Coast to Coast path begins in St Bees in Cumbria, then runs across the country through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, ending in the coastal village of Robin Hoods Bay in North Yorkshire. It's a journey just shy of 200 miles.
Abbie set out to walk and wild camp the trail in June, completing it in just under 11 days through a searing summer heatwave that hit the UK. It made for scenic walking through mountains and forests, across fields and dales, and along moors and coastal cliffs. Along the way they courageously shares the challenge of managing their ongoing mental ill health whilst on the trail, openly revealing the highs and lows that made the walk more than just a hike across the country - it became a journey of discovery, healing and perspective. A walk, they say, will forever hold close to their heart.
