Have you considered a walking holiday?<\/p>\n<p>I answered YES to those questions and decided it would be a great holiday with my dog whilst seeing some fantastic countryside and staying in some brilliant B &amp; B\u2019s and hotels along the route. The first adventure was the Coast to Coast; St. Bee\u2019s to Robin Hood\u2019s Bay 190 miles following in Wainwright\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>We did this walk in 3 chunks, due to time constraints and work commitments.<\/p>\n<p>St Bee\u2019s to Shap<br \/>\nShap to Richmond<br \/>\nRichmond to Robin Hood\u2019s Bay<\/p>\n<p>We used a luggage transfer company and they transported my dog\u2019s cage, which meant he had his own safe space every night and I could leave him securely in the room, if necessary. The scenery was stunning: The first leg being mainly across the Lake District. We arrived by train to St. Bee\u2019s in the pouring rain one August Bank Holiday Monday, thank fully the following morning the start of our trek was more clement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Dog walks\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1-402x300.jpg 402w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nIt is a beautiful route and well walked.\u00a0 Many American groups, Canadians and Australians do the whole walk in a couple of weeks and we\u2019re not talking about the 30 something\u2019s. The people we met were often retired and regularly \u201chiked\u201d back on their home turf. The camaraderie on the route is brilliant as you often meet, overtake or get overtaken by the same people and then when you\u2019ve checked in to your overnight stay you may find them in the Bar! An evening chatting over the days exploits the highs and lows make this fantastic trail all the more exciting and interesting, not to mention the well earned good beer and food.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1503 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Sleeping dog\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nAnd the dog?
