Nick and Louis challenge!
Our adventure starts on March 10th as we head off from Highcliffe Castle following the coastline heading west into Dorset and beyond.
Our estimation was based on the expected distance of the King Charles 3rd coastal footpath of 2795 miles when fully open. Plus 84 miles of Hadrian's Wall to cross from West coast to East. Unfortunately we had to abandon the Hadrian's Wall crossing due to injury (we plan to return and complete this in the spring next year).
Our original estimate of 3000 miles to complete our adventure has required recalculation as we have progressed as some areas have closures or no coastal path with inland diversions along A-roads which we have avoided.
Our first plan considered a daily average distance of 13 miles and a journey time of approximately 7 months. With a reduced distance and a higher daily average mileage we think, on current estimate that our journey will take us 6 months.
Staying in Hotels, Pubs, B&Bs, AirBnB and the odd night with friends and family the entire trip is completely self funded.
