It’s Day 25 of #NWECPAdvent - congratulations! A few miles into Stage 28 is the Welsh border - the end of the #KCIIIECP, for now! At this point you can find the nearest train station, continue to the @walescoastpath1.bsky.social (because why stick to 350 miles when another 870 will do?!) ... 1/2

Day 21 of #NWECPAdvent (& the guidebook) is #Preston to #Tarleton on the south bank of the #Ribble - a really enjoyable day of parkland, farmland and floodbanks as the tidal river widens out to #saltmarsh where it meets the River Douglas. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #NationalTrail
Day 20 of #NWECPAdvent - #Lytham to #Preston - should have been posted yesterday! Lytham's prom & windmill are different again to yesterday's varied Blackpool offerings & mark the start of the #RibbleEstuary stretch. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #NationalTrail #CiceroneGuidebooks
2/2 ... funny-looking tower, along with one of the most wheel-friendly lengths of trail :)

Day 18 of #NWECPAdvent takes us on a wildlife & heritage rich journey from #ConderGreen to the #WyreFerry at #KnottEnd via #GlassonDock, #CockersandAbbey (just north of this photo at Bank Houses), and #Pilling. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #NationalTrail #CiceroneGuidebooks
It's also a great opportunity for a #RestDay to explore the castle, city centre, museums & galleries, or just sit back with a cuppa in one of the lovely indie cafes.

Hoorah! Day 17 of #NWECPAdvent is finally here after yesterday’s false start. This stage in my #Cicerone #KCIIIECP guidebook is a grand tour of the #RiverLune from #Overton to #ConderGreen via the first crossing point in beautiful #Lancaster. 1/2

We've also passed @rspb.bsky.social #LeightonMoss en route to day's end at #HestBank. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #NationalTrail (What's this #NWECPAdvent all about? The #KCIIIECP will be the longest managed coast path in the world once complete - but my new #Cicerone guidebook ... 2/
Day 14 of #NWECPAdvent takes us from #Greenodd to #GrangeOverSands. We’ve crossed #CartmelFell on the old #CumbriaCoastalWay route as the #KCIIIECP isn’t open yet, to reach #HumphreyHead - a stunning grassed and wooded limestone outcrop with rare wildlife and views to #Morecambe and #Heysham. 1/2
Zoom in for my local fell #Ingleborough out there on the right :D #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #NationalTrails @morecambebay.bsky.social
Walney is about 11 miles long & *very* narrow, so it's really easy to adapt your walk. Add in an extra day to visit
@cumbriawildlife.bsky.social's #SouthWalney reserve & see if you can spot some seals! #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #NationalTrails
#NWECPAdvent window 10 opens on #Haverigg, between #Silecroft & #Millom on the #DuddonEstuary - next to @rspbengland.bsky.social's unique #HodbarrowLagoon reserve. Enjoying the journey? Check the @ciceronepress website for guidebook info! #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP

Let's just agree yesterday was a rest day, right?! Day 7 of #NWECPAdvent (we'll catch up) takes in glorious new paths and old classics alike between #Whitehaven & #Seascale such as here at #FleswickBay, also on #AlfredWainwright's #CoastToCoast route. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #C2C
Oops... nearly forgot! But here's #NWECPAdvent Day 6! 😁 The #Maryport to #Whitehaven section of #KCIIIECP passes through #Workington, #Harrington, #Parton & #Flimby, shown here. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath @ciceronepress
Day 5 takes us from #Silloth to #Maryport, two lovely west #Cumbrian port towns, via #Allonby, lots of dunes and an accessible cycle path. These beautiful outcrops of red sandstone can be found on the shore before reaching Maryport's harbour. #NWECPAdvent #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP
It's day 4 of #NWECPAdvent - and the one where we finally cross from estuarine salt marshes to open sea, as we round #GrunePoint near Skinburness, shortly before finishing in #Silloth.

Day 3! On walking from Bowness to Abbeytown, we've passed @rspbengland.bsky.social's lovely #CampfieldMarsh reserve, complete with views to #DumfriesAndGalloway over the ever-widening waters of the #SolwayFirth...
#NWECPAdvent #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP
Happy 2nd December - and congratulations, you've made it 29 miles all the way from the Scottish border to the @hadrianswallpath National Trail start/finish shelter at Bowness-on-Solway!
#NWECPAdvent #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #EnglandCoastPath @ciceronepress @solwaycoastnl
Come on an advent calendar journey down the north west English coast!
Day 1 starts on the #England-#Scotland border right in the middle of this bridge over the River Sark, at #Gretna. Only 367 miles to #Chester... Will we make it?!

Really enjoyed meeting loads of other #Cicerone authors & publishing team this weekend - more news on my contribution to the portfolio soon but in the meantime was supercool to be able to present a little about how we use #GIS software at #NaturalEngland to create the #EnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP 😊
