Hi,
I run Northwestwalks a company providing walking holidays in
Northern England. |
| |
Wainwright's
Coast to Coast is our most popular holiday, and its my favourite
too. Although January has passed I gladly offer any support I
can to have the Coast to Coast made into a National Trail. It surprises
many of my clients when they discover the the route is not a National
Trail. |

It
does seem ironic that this, probably the most popular long distance
walk in the UK is not a national trail whereas some, that probably
are not known even by those through whose locality these walks pass,
are. |

It
is one of the worlds the great walks and I believe it should
have its own officially recognised status. |

The
Coast to Coast Walk is one of the great achievements of Alfred Wainright,
and has provided countless walkers with an introduction to the glories
of the North of England. I am astounded that it still has not been
officially recognised as a route. This is part of our national heritage
and should be recognised as such. |

It
is more than 20 years since i first did the walk and I have smoe great
memories of it. |

Mr Mrs S J Turner |

We
think it is important that the Coast to Coast is given National Trail
status so that it receives the financial support required to maintain
it. |

I
have only walked short sections of the path, but everybody that
I have met that has done the whole path have enthused about it.
Good luck to your campaign. |

I
walked the c2c in April 2000 with four friends, and we plan to
repeat the joyous exercise in 2008. |
| |
A magnificent
walk, combining the towering scenery of Lakeland with the subtler charms
of the Dales and North York Moors, but it's the small hostelries and
friendly shop and cafe owners that linger longest. Anything that will
safeguard their businesses, as well as popularising the walk itself is
a grand endeavour. |

This
route should absolutely be classified as a National Trail, thereby
inviting better maintenance and signposting along the way. Certainly,
when myself and my wife did it in May 2002, the moorland around 9 standing
rigs was unpassable. |

I
have walked the Walk twice, and would go again given half the chance.
Do I get to vote twice ? |

Our
two children grew up walking the C2C in stages from 1995-2004:
spanning minimum 6yrs old to max 17yrs (has anyone taken longer?!).
The whole trail is signposted and RoW mainly sorted. All the
major establishing work has been done, so why can't it get National
Trail status? |

Our

introduction to the delight of this pleasure. |

This
trail is the best in the country giving an experience of 3 National
Parks. If any trail should have National Trail status this is
the one. |

In
2004 I walked the coast to coast,and fell in love with Northern England.
In May of 2007 I will be walking it again. In all the long distance
walking I have done... hands down, your lovely coast to coast is the
top of my list! Thank You.. Mary |

Long
overdue. And if it is called the Wainwright Coast to Coast Walk it
will be a fitting memory to his outstanding contribution to walking
and recreation in the UK. He deserves nothing less. |

Completing
the C2C was memorable for me, if only because of the people I met and
accompanied over the two weeks. |
| |
Although
walking solo, I kept meeting the same people who started and finished
on the same days I did. A varied collection, from Australia to Cyprus,
and that tells us how this iconic route has a status which is still
not adequately recognised 'officially'. It is a latterday pilgrimage
route! Please, let us have it there as a National Trail-the public
is already voting with its feet. |

We
believe Wainwright's Coast to Coast should be recognised as a National
Trial because it is one of the most popular long distance walks across
some of the most beautiful, diverse scenery and is by all ages. |

The
inspiration for my C2C walk in May 97 were the pictures of Derry Brabbs
and for that I thank him. The introduction to Wainwright and the Coast
to Coast walk were life changing events. |

I
did the Coast to Coast walk in 1995 and it was great and also
atempted to do it again a few years later but did not complete due
to a knee injury. |

We
are to walk St. Bees to Kirkby this summer, and of course, I
am researching now. As a Canadian, I do not have the same stake in
making this walk a National Trail, but from all I read, this action
is well merited. Good luck. LF |

Having
completed the C 2 C in July '06 with a walking colleague, we found
the trip to be an enjoyable challenge, and one we shall certainly be
repeating. We only encountered a couple of problem sections, which
could be improved with better signage. The C 2 C certainly deserves
national recognition. |

Ian Stevens |

I
have attempted the C2C 3 times now, 2008 will see me try for the 4th
and hopefully successful time. Best of luck, this deserves to be recognised,
if only for AW. |

Tim Scott |

I
first walked the C2C in 1984, and again in 1986. What an excellent
walk. Trouble is, it's become so popular it's like a motorway for walkers.
Is this what AW would have wanted? I think not. Maybe having official
status will help to regulate the situation. |
