GUIDED TRAIL HOLIDAYS
2010  Alternative Coast to Coast
Across England  -  9 nights

Total distance 110 miles. 10 -17 miles per day with a maximum daily ascent of 1,575ft. This walk offers a gentler way to cross England from west to east at a more leisurely pace than Wainwright's more familiar route. Keeping to lower ground and covering less distance each day, the reward is a memorable journey across northern England.  Although the route is easier than the difficult Wainwright Way, the walking day on the alternative route is 6 -7 hours. It is important for your own enjoyment and that of your fellow guests that you can maintain the pace.
