- Stacey, Molly, and Pablo walk from Patterdale to Shap on England's Coast to Coast trail Summer 2023. #coast2coastengland #coasttocoastengland #hikeengland #Shapabbey #hikingfamily #familyhiking #motherdaughter
Glad you enjoyed your brief visit to our village (Shap) and one of the local pubs(the Greyhounds) looking forward to viewing the next one as you begin the walk through the Westmorland Dales
We plan to revisit Shap at some point so that we can fill in the stage leaving Shap that we missed. We should have more energy to explore it next time. It looked like a lovely town.
Last day in the Lake District. So beautiful
Thanks. Yes, it was incredibly beautiful!
I struggled along the edge of lake also, my biggest and hardest day, I was worn out at Shap.
It was such a tough stage in terms of footing. It cost me for the rest of the summer.
I just saw that Patterdale means St. Patrick's Dale!
Good timing, and belated blessed St. Patrick's day!
Love that!
Wow. Very Scenic. Looked kind of crazy that once you got to the peak, there was a bunch of other people there. I had the impression, that you were quite alone.
We were pretty alone on some days, but there were a couple of groups doing that hike in day 4, and we were around them for the first few hours.
Avoid the steep decent and the long rocky walk along the reservoir by turning left before Kidsty and following the ridge parallel to Haweswater - you should come out with only about 1/3 of the reservoir before reaching the dam.
That would have been a better option. We also found out that some people walked along the road on the other side of the lake, and others took a boat down the middle of the lake. Any of those would have been preferable to what we did. We also only saw one person the entire time we were walking the way that we went - but it was the "official" way in our guidebook. I think most other people had been warned.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims if you read Wainright's guide, he'll say the walk is from coast to coast, starting at one point and ending at another - how you get there is up to you. I'm thinking of doing a E to W crossing - I only live 4 miles from St Bees so I can walk home after I finish.
11:52 Really good instinct you had!
_"It contains a compound called atropine, which can affect your horse's autonomic nervous system. Raw potatoes are more dangerous than cooked potatoes, but potato poisoning is still possible even in the form of gnocchi, chips or other potato-based foods."_
I don't think someone else's horse is safer than your own.
13:53 Reminds me so much of St. Peter's Church Ruin in Sigtuna ... or was St. Olaf a ruin too? I even think so ...
It was a beautiful site, but I won’t be surprised if that tower falls soon. It looked pretty unstable.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims I wouldn't be surprised if antiquity authorities had discretely added some fortifications.
Bad enough to lose the Church during the Reformation, they don't want to lose the ruin too.
7:31 looks like jamón y queso ... yummy!
12:33 Do you know the connexion between runes and that bridge?
In Sweden one rune stone was found next to a bridge. It read "so and so built this bridge after her husband, pray for his soul" ...
No, but I love stories like that.
10:47 They didn't? _Tu m'étonnes !_ as they say here.
Ouch, you have a sore throat!
Get better, Molly!
It got worse, but she is healthy now. You should see her run!
@@staceyandmollypilgrims good!
Did you have to carry a lot of water on this section? It didn't look like you passed any places where there would be water taps.
Yes, lots of water and food. There wasn’t anywhere to stop all day.
@@staceyandmollypilgrimsyou can drink the water from many of the lakes and also from the rivers if you’re close to the source and there aren’t any dead sheep in the water, it’s delicious.
