So here we are on our penultimate day on the Wainwright Coast to Coast walk, sharing the challenges of overambitious planning, heavy packs, and a comical campsite booking blunder. We enjoy tranquil woodland paths, a memorable tea stop in Grosmont, and a warm welcome at Intake Farm.
Simon joins us to share his well-organised accommodation reviews, highlighting the contrast with our more chaotic approach. The episode blends practical advice, honest reflections, and the camaraderie of fellow walkers as we prepare for the final stretch to Robin Hood’s Bay.
