Stages of the Walk
This page records our progress so far on the individual stages of our walk around the coast of Great Britain and the approximate miles walked on each. The miles recorded are the complete miles walked on any specific day and journey. This will include where we have had to walk additional miles to reach accommodation at the end of each stage and any diversions encountered. Occasionally,it includes a ferry journey because my Garmin automatically links up two points so that even if I turn it off for the ferry journey it joins up the journey anyway. Mileage is generally recorded on a Garmin 110 device and where this has not been possible, e.g. battery runs out, approximate mileage has been calculated using OS Map service. The letter C indicates camping; WC wild camping; B&B includes Airbnb and, Est is estimated mileage and used for planning purposes.
