Summary

Welcome to the Cornish Family Coast to Coast Challenge – an 180 miles cross country walk that will take us from St Bees, Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire. Mum, Dad, 5 kids (age 4 - 12 yrs old) and a grandad (72 and counting) will 'walk a mile in the shoes' of families who have been displaced through war, famine, fear or persecution. Over 16 days (come rain, shine or blisters), we will peak mountains, traverse valleys and hike through moor and woods. We’ll be raising money for refugee families who, unlike us, had no choice but to leave their homes – families just like ours and yours.

Our chosen charity, Refugee Action York (RAY), offer practical aid, emotional support and an open door to men, woman, children and families without discrimination. Hear their stories and follow our intrepid journey either online or by our side. In true British style, let us stand (or walk) together in welcoming our newest countrymen to England’s green and pleasant land.

Howardian Hills (Yummiest walk ever) - Thursday 27th July 2017


Today our hike turned out to be a foraging dream.  Dad is always willing to go the extra mile to put food in his children's mouths. --->
First stop CHERRIES.












                           <------Then some lovely potatoes.  Chips or jackets?




<----The hazel nuts might not have been quite ready but the raspberries were delicious.---->


Not to seem too greedy, we decided to share our bounty with the locals.  Although some of them became a little too friendly.



<---Next course we were onto wheat followed by palate cleansing sloes.  Meaning, we spat them out.  Ugh!---->






Then...the crops decided to fight back.  I guess we weren't the only hungry and curious creatures in the wilds of North Yorkshire.






A moments silence for Lizzie, please.  She will be sorely missed.
