Another old favourite for me, although I've only done it once before and was beaten back by flooded rivers on a second attempt, but it still holds a fond place in my heart. Part of my training regime for the Coast to Coast which starts in a few short weeks. I don't feel at all fit at the moment - too many walks cut short and too many pies!
