Wainwright's Rest, Shap

27/10/2026

This weekend, I've been out on a different piece of the Coast to Coast route with a trip to Robin Hood's Bay, which is the end of the route!

I ran a half marathon on parts of the coast path and had a fantastic weekend celebrating with my friends staying in a wonderful airbnb called The Rosings!

We had the best, albeit windy, weekend exploring the beautiful beach and read really cool little streets and shops in the bay! Definitely worth adding an extra night to your C2C trip to enjoy!

Don't forget the 2027 calendar for is open for bookings! Head to airbnb to book!

Two of our recent guests! Shame they weren't able to complete the full C2C! But I'm sure they will smash it next time!
Check out their great videos!

Stormy skies over Shap and Kidsty Pike this morning and again this evening. I love to watching the big skies change around the village!

As we head towards June we have only a handful of dates available so take a look and get booking!

Early morning runs means the C2C trail to yourself! Just me and a few sheep on the fell at 6am this morning!
Worth the early start on a gorgeous (albeit a little chilly) morning ♥️

Runs and walks like this from the door are bliss!

We still have some availability for May and June.... head to airbnb to book!

What a wonderful weekend of weather! Our Coast to Coast guests have been rewarded with amazing sunshine and warm days! I took some time out to enjoy the lakes and finished off the evening with a picnic tea at a favourite spot on the route.

The weather still looks great for unwinding on the Wainwright's Rest balcony post-adventures! We have availability going into next week, book your stay on Airbnb!
