Day 2…
Today’s stretch of the walk, tackled again in glorious weather, included spectacular views of Ennerdale Water; a near impossible climb up a steep gully carrying full packs, and a welcome cup of tea at the slate mine near Honiston Pass.
The overall distance covered was 18 miles, which was somewhat further than planned but was caused by taking a wrong turn at one point. Veronica and Eddie were not alone in this as other walkers did likewise, but all was OK in the end.
Veronica and Eddie again met many other walkers, not all doing the Coast to Coast Walk, but who were interested to hear about their reasons for doing it, and the AOS charity which will ultimately benefit. Veronica, as ever gave out information leaflets whenever anybody showed an interest.
