Cumbria

We'd discovered this section of the England Coast Path, which at the time of writing (May 2022) is one of the more complete sections, when in Workington for Phillip and Anne-Marie's wedding in October 2021. We fell in love with it, and returned on a holiday in May 2022,  when we stayed in a lovely bijou holiday cottage in the village of Allonby, the current northern extremity of this leg. From Allonby we walked south on the path (i.e. anti-clockwise if you think about the entire  UK coast), making use of the delightful Cumbrian Coastal Railway for return trips south of Maryport. The weather was variable and I had to some unavoidable work to do, but in  four days of walking we got to Drigg and we would have got to Ravenglass had there not been a non-existent bridge between the two, requiring a longer walk around. This was pretty good progress - and very enjoyable. In addition, although the England Coast Path is not yet opened, Richard walked  north from Allonby to Silloth on a recently opened section of Hadrian's Cycleway (Route 72).
