So here are the places we plan to stay - we'll let you know what we think as we go!
St Bees - We start the trip at The Outrigg House near the start of the walk in St Bees. After 14 miles we will stagger into
Ennerdale View B and B (reputed to have a hot tub) -we will see. Dinner there too.
The next day is a so- called rest day as we are only walking 5 miles to Ennerdale Youth Hostel.
Next morning we set off to Stonethwaite in Borrodale for our one night of luxury at The Langstrath Country Hotel. Not the original plan to stay there but no room anywhere else!
Next day we head 9 miles to Grasmere and the Youth Hostel at Burthylap How where we meet up with Imogen.
Another Youth Hostel welcomes us in Patterdale.
Patterdale to Shap is a tough 16 mile day ending up at The King's Arms -David's last night!
Shap to Kirby Stephen and the Redmayne House (highly recommended by walkers)
Next stop is Keld where three of us are sleeping in a barn!
On to Reeth and the Buck Hotel
Then its Bridgedownhouse in Richmond
Next night we have to get a ride from the trail to Lovesome Hill Farm and another barn!
Next night at the Parkhouse in Ingelsby Arncliffe
After our longest day -21 miles we will stagger into the famous Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge.
Next its another long day to Hollins Lodge in Grosmont
With the end in sight now we have a short walk to Littlebeck and Intake Farm
Final day as we head to Robin's Hood Bay and The Boathouse!!
