Wainwright Coast to Coast Part 5

In this episode, I recount day seven and day eight on the Wainwright Coast to Coast trail. We wake beside a stream at Rukins campsite, dodge incoming rain, and share breakfast with fellow hikers. The unpredictable weather and challenging terrain test our gear and spirits, but camaraderie and scenic beauty keep us going.

En route we chat with hikers from Canada, compare trails, and reflect on foot care and logistics. A luxurious hotel stay offers welcome respite before we press on, energised for the next stage. This episode highlights the joys, challenges, and connections found on a long-distance UK hike and our arrival at Danby Wiske, possibly the best campsite in the whole coast to coast.
