C2C Route Planning

We have just about finalised our Welsh coast to coast route. I have painstakingly plotted the whole 25 days into Memory Map. We (Alan and I) plan to take it really easy with an average of 10 miles per day - more of a relaxed bimble rather than record breaking march.

We are section hiking the route a week at a time, with a week back in work in between each week. We start at Rhossili, right on the end of Gower and finish at Conwy Castle, taking in every major hill range on the way.

Stats: 242 miles, 387,200 steps, 56,019 feet of ascent and 56,204 of descent, about 18lb-20lb base weight.

The bulk of the walking will be done throughout June, finishing in North Wales with several pints on the 7th July.

BIG THANKS to Sarah and Jackie for letting us go - yes, we do know it's going to cost us dearly!

Chris, of all the C2C walks this one is the one that most appeals to Ali and I. We will be very interested to read your blog updates on it as we may consider repeating your route next year.

Would be keen to have a copy of your memory map overlay files sometime to look at it in more detail.

Good luck to Alan and youself on this one!

Cheers
Lay
