This coast to coast walk is amenable to a large range of hikers because each person can define their own goals. For me the thing about it that is fun and challenging is that it is 16 days of hiking. No one day has really been that much of a challenge so far, but put 16 days together with no breaks and it starts to wear on me. This helps strip away many of my preconceived notions and lets me look at things from new perspectives.

On trips like this I alway enjoy getting to what I’ll call ‘my moment of zen’ for lack of a better phrase. Having a physical challenge (a pebble crusher) helps me get there faster. Thanks for picking this great trip Benj.
