The Walk begins…

29/04/2007 by AOS.

They say that every journey begins with a single step, and so today Veronica and Eddie took that that all important move forward, to not only start the Coast to Coast Walk, but in so doing, realise a dream, an ambition that they have had for many years.

Veronica reports; day 1, “today we covered a distance of 13 miles from St Bee’s to Ennerdale Bridge encountering on the way other walkers who were very interested to hear of the work of the AOS and to whom I gave leaflets, not only outlining their work but also giving details of this website where they can find future updates of our progress.

We reached the summit of Dent Fell and lingered for a while looking back at, and taking a photograph of St Bee’s with the Isle of Man in the distance, and the Scottish highlands to our right. Of the other walkers we met, these included a couple all the way from Australia. The weather was excellent and we are exhilarated by finishing our first leg of the walk. Tomorrow we have a longer walk but go into it with confidence.
