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. ...

This is a new edition of the classic photographic book containing the walk A. Wainwright devised in 1973 covering rights of way & areas of open access between the Irish sea & the North Sea. The route starts at St Bees Head & finishes at Robin Hood Bay passing through three National Parks: the Lake District the Yorkshire Dales & the North York Moors all areas of outstanding beauty. Providing a wide & varied range of scenery with changing landscapes over a distance of 190 miles it is one of the most challenging of long-distance walks. The text has been updated to take account of minor changes in the terrain & the result is not merely the most beautiful but also the most authoritative & useful book on the much loved Coast to Coast walk. For this new edition many of the photographs have been retaken by the legendary lakeland photographer Derry Brabbs. The result is the transformation of an already fine book into something spectacular. ...

- 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.

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.
