Walking the Coast to Coast - The Hard Way: A Travelogue

In the summer of 2011, Welsh exile Roger Morgan was looking for a challenge with which to celebrate his 60th birthday.  Despite not having any sort of background in walking, he elected to attempt Alfred Wainwright's famous Coast to Coast walk with a friend.  Carrying all their gear, including tents, sleeping bags, etc., every step of the way, their aim was to complete the walk in ten days or less.  Accompanied by a host of magnificent photographs, this travelogue is the story of how they got on, and the people, pubs and pains they encountered along the way. 


Roger Morgan is a retired P.E. teacher from Belper, Derbyshire.  He is married, with three grown-up children and two grandchildren.  He has been a member of Camra since the late 70s, and in May 2012 was awarded the title 'Most Eccentric Life Story 2012' by the illustrious Eccentric Club in London.
