Coastwalk
The past fifteen years
Whenever someone learns about the coast walk, the first question is inevitable: "What are the best bits?" Often people are hoping you'll mention the parts of the coast that are meaningful to them. It's always tricky when you give the wrong answer.
Here are a few highlights of our walk so far, in England and Wales:
- Starting to take the walking seriously: setting off south from the border (March 2004)
- Solway Sunsets (January 2005)
- Completing the first thousand miles (March 2004)
- Isolation at Sunderland Point (March 2005)
- Walking under the river (July 2005)
- Memories of childhood holidays (April 2011)
- R.S. Thomas (May 2011)
- Planning my proposal on the train home (February 2006)
- The first walk with Emma (September 2004)
- The very first walk (February 1999)
- Completing Wales (January 2012)
- Meeting a fellow coast walker (October 2013)
- Finishing the South-West Coast path (October 2012)
- A honeymoon walk (October 2006)
- Fording the Erme (August 2012)
- The Train Beach (February 2001)
- My last walk with Dad (March 2000)
- A lightning strike (December 1999)
- The Thames (January 2011)
- Constructive graffiti (June 2000)
- Walking home from the sea (July 2004)
- Seahenge (September 1999)
- Sunk Island (June 2013)
- Crossing the Meridian for the final time (June 2013)
- Reaching Scotland again (February 2014)
I'm torn about those I've missed off; how could it ever be possible to pick just one favourite bit?
