A much needed recognition of a truly national route.

Did run last year in a group.
Fantastic route.

Best walk that I have been on - Up there with the Milford Track. Should be a National Trail!

The C-to-C walk covers some of England's best scenery and is a natural contender for National Trail status.

I support this whole-heartedly.

I wholeheartedly support the campaign to elevate AW's Coast to Coast Walk to National Trail status. You only have to review the C2C Forums to see it far outdoes the Pennine Way for sheer interest, variety and enjoyment for all ages.

Walked it in 1994 on my own. Met so many nice people and regard it as one of my finest achievements.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Should be a National Trail.

I would like to support the campaign for Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk being given the status of a National Trail. It would be the best long distance footpath in the country.

We both support the idea that the coast to coast walk should be recognised as a national trail. It's a great achievement for anyone who completes the walk.

Surely, any walk devised by the great and hugely missed Alfred Wainwright must merit being awarded 'National Trail' status. I derived great pleasure from following this wonderful mans footsteps through the varying landscapes that is encompassed in this walk, and so beautifully described in his book.

Well overdue for inclusion into the National Trails. A very fine walk indeed.

I have walked most of the national trails in this country, but in my opinion the Coast to Coast is superior to any of these and deserves the recognition of a national trail.

Deserves recognition, my 72 yr old Father is about to embark on it in September for the 11th time!

Good luck with this worthy campaign.

Whilst upgrading the Coast to Coast to a National Trail will not change the walk, its rewards or the challenge, it is high time that it had the same recognition formally as has the Pennine Way or other well-known routes.

This has to be the best walk in the UK. Am hoping to do it next year.

I would like to see this formally recognised and given the support that it has earned over the last 34 years.

Completing the Coast to Coast is almost as desirable as doing the Pennine Way.

I fully support the move to adopt Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk as a National Trail in order that it may be preserved and maintained and recognised as is fit for such an important walk.

Not before time, we are following the Coast to Coast next June, following in Wainwright's footsteps, thanks for the opportunity to vote.

Give this walk the recognition that it deserves.

My son and I walked half the trail in 2004. We'd like to finish it. We were surprised at the lack of trail markers, though learned from other walkers the reason. I commend the Wainwright Society for pressing to have this outstanding trail "recognized". I'd be honored to fund a real trail marker once you have received permission.

This should not even be having to go to the lengths of a petition, it is a disgrace that this trail has not already been recognised.

The communities along the C2C have benefited from the coast2coasters and will continue to do so long into the future. A wonderful walk and many friendships have been forged along the route.

You know...I actually thought it was already a nationally recognised walk...I can't believe that it's not...Please do whatever is necessary to make it so...
It's a fantastic experience to walk the C to C...from one Sea [C] to another...

It's about time this was done.

The Coast to Coast walk is one of the most popular long distance walks and should have been made a National Trail a long time ago.

Walking this was one of the most joyous experiences of my life, a natural, human, beautiful route.

It`s about time this famous walk was recognised as a National Trail.

It would be nice to see this walk finally getting its adequate appreciation in official terms, for it covers such a wide range of English landscape in all its beauty.
