I'm back again, with another solo episode! I just returned from walking Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk, which was a huge uplevel for me. It was a longer trail than I'd ever walked before, and I was camping along the whole way, which was new for me. It meant that I'd have to carry a lot more in my pack than usual.
All in all, it was a fantastic adventure! Many lessons were learned, and I still need to troubleshoot some issues before I do something like this again (for example, I need to learn how to better deal with wet conditions). I hope to inspire you to check out Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk.
