In this final episode of our Coast to Coast series, I recount the last leg of our journey across England with Rose, Simon, and Ruth. We reflect on memorable campsites, favorite meals, and the challenges of carrying our own gear.
Arriving at Robin Hood’s Bay, we celebrate quietly, sharing practical advice for future hikers and appreciating the kindness of strangers along the way.
The trek was both demanding and deeply rewarding—a true immersion in England’s landscapes. I’d do it again in a heartbeat, grateful for the adventure and the lessons learned on the trail.
