Yesterday afternoon I threw a pebble into the sea that I collected on one side of the country and as is the tradition, after 320km thrown it into the sea on the other. I’m not in a C2C bubble anymore so mixed emotions. Elation and a sense of belonging vs back to reality

After going the wrong way and getting very angry I utterly blasted out the first 20 miles today. Left my heart and soul on the trail for the last 10-15k

And then the trail opened up. Perfect running conditions for the last 25km of the day. Day 4 started tough but ended well despite the heat. Swale valley trail #C2C #trailrunning #run

This was insane. After 9 Standards Rigg there was a section of moorland that took over an hour to do a mile.

I’m currently pulling pints at nearly…..the half way point. 3 days in and my legs are battered and 27 degrees today didn’t help. I’ve had pints with locals, dinner with Aussies and other local types. doing 50k a day then some pints is just my thing.

Day 3 on the coast to coast Wainwright route. After 2 days of big ascent, this ‘easy’ day got me lost 3 times but the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales after Shap were superb, even in the 27 degrees heat. 27 miles today. #c2c #trailrunning #trail
