The classic high-level walk from Irish Sea to North Sea Originally devised by the legendary Alfred Wainwright the Coast-to-Coast Walk has steadily become one of Britains most popular long-distance walks & it is not hard to see why. Planned to seek out the most spectacular high ground across the country it takes you from the sea in the west to the sea in the east via three of Englands loveliest National Parks: the Lake District the Yorkshire Dales & the North York Moors. Its 192 miles from the quiet Cumbrian village of St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay are a substantial test of endurance that will take even a fit walker a fortnight to accomplish but also a wonderfully varying walk from sea cliffs to craggy mountains & lakes then across rolling dales & finally heather moorl&. For everyone who reaches Wainwrights Bar at journeys end on the North Yorkshire coast it will have been the walk of a lifetime. ...

In 1940 the defence of Great Britain rested with a handful of volunteer aircrew Churchills few. Overshadowed in later folklore by the more famous Spitfire & Hurricane pilots there were other pilots observers & air gunners
- just as courageous
- flying the Bristol Blenheim MKIV-F. The future of the country & arguably that of the free world depended also on their skill morale & sacrifice. Remarkably little has been chronicled of these men & their aircraft
- the Trade Protection squadrons formed by Hugh Dowding
- allotted to 11 Group in October 1939. The aircrafts range & endurance made it suitable for defence of coastal shipping against attack on the southern & eastern shores of Britain & for operations further afield. Indeed during bitter fighting casualties among Numbers 235 236 248 & 254 Squadron Blenheims were high on operations over Norway Holland France Dunkirk & then the Battle of Britain where the Blenheims were completely outclassed by Messerschmitt 109 & 110 fighters & fell easy victims scythed from the sky. But the record of the aircraft & their crew was an immensely proud one. Drawing on contemporary diaries periodicals letters logbooks memoirs & interviews with survivors lauded historian Andy Bird reassesses the vital role they played & repositions it in history. In doing so he justifiably embraces the heroes we have left behind.
