Coast to Coast day 1. May 19 2026


St Bees - Cleator




 Up early for a 6:30 train from Langley Mill. Anne kindly dropped me off at the station. It was p********it down. 4 trains , 6 hours travelling. The last one - Lancaster to
St Bees had 14 stops- seemed to go on for ever!. Of course ,by the time I had walked the 1/2 mile down to the beach it was p******* it down again. Quick photo op at the official start. 

My pebble to transport to the north sea

Great selfie




Due to a cliff top landslip, the coastal section was closed, so I had to head inland towards my bed for the night - at Cleator.



It was a 800 yard detour to visit the statue.


A few miles of the route followed a well signposted railway bed, before dropping into Cleator, and the Emmerdale Country Hotel, where I treated myself to a hot bath.

A modest 7 miles, to start the adventure.

2hour 41 mins. Ascent 628ft
