The view of St Bees Head at the start of the walk	The first climb of the walk onto St Bees Head

Sat by Ennerdale Water, Deke says "I'm in heaven". The sun is beating down and we have just completed day one. Fantastic weather. A group of young mallards are crowding us for bread at the edge of the lake but alas we don't have any. Deke adds 'Fields of green and red sandstone cliffs contrasting nicely along the coastline of St Bees, guillemots whirring out over the sea. An over abundance of wild flowers, banks of sea pink foxgloves, purple vetch and sweet smelling honeysuckle in the hedges...sweet and sun and sea everywhere. Fairly easy day although Dent hill was a bit of a struggle, and Mike needlessly firing retros even on the easy bits...bliss!!' The turbine was firing all day, release valve working well. We went off route a little in Udale Plantation, no great difference in distance though. The first leg is done now and I'm looking forward to Red Stile and tomorrows fantastic journey. I wish Raquel was waiting on top, but no, I need form. The bird - in the valley of Udale (Nannycatch Beck) The Sight - first view of Lakeland from Dent Fell. The food - Pork in Brandy Sauce- lovely.

A final look back to the Irish Sea from Dent Hill	Nannycatch Beck is a lovely spot

Apologies in advance to any persons of a delicate nature but the records of this walk are from the hearts of two guys who were in their element out and about on their own and beginning some great days together. The stories of our deeds were written in exhilaration and fatigue after each days walking. As can be seen from the photographs we began our Coast to Coast in the best of weather for which we were extremely pleased. A word about Deke - He has done many of the classic walks and educated me on lots of interesting facts during the two weeks. Deke and I also met strangers and friends during our days across Northern England. There are full details of our experiences on this walk as they happened.
