We took a bit of a shortcut this day because we weren't real sure about legs and ankles and such (But have no fear, we are going to walk every step ocean to ocean!).  Smooth walking from St Bees, and some great views back to the Irish Sea as we began ... Read more >

The following day started bright and early (a little too bright and early for some of the group) with a visit to Sligachen, the faerie river which is said to impart beauty and/or wisdom to any one dumb enough to submerge their face in it for 7 ... Read more >

Day 0 - Arrival at St Bees

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 | By anijensen | Views [809] | Comments [2]

Uneventful flight to Heathrow, then a one-way car rental to Carlisle.  From there, a 1-hour taxi ride to St Bees.  Sounds cumbersome, but it was the cheapest and fastest way to get from London to St Bees. We walked to the beach on the evening of our ... Read more >
