The Woods and Hills...ain't easy

Day two on the coast to coast was wet and difficult. Fortunately hikers with GPS were available to keep our intrepid duo Trish and Pat, on track. They are hiking on!

Meanwhile day two and three on the ATare quiet and dry, but rocky.  But consider ProBars  and Gorp vs. Guinness and pub grub. Hmmm... We all make our choices...some obviously better - at least in the cuisine department - than others

Day 1 on Two Trails

Yes, Trish and John are hiking separate trails: Trish the Coast to Coast across England for two weeks with companion Pat Hogan, and John the Appalachian Trail, south from Harper's Ferry, for 4 days. 

The word from England is that it's tough with high hills and obscure trails easy to mistake.

This stretch of the AT is very rocky- an. Excellent place to break an ankle. It is also reteaching sone old lessons about the difference in weight of the pack in your living room and going straight up a steep, rocky slope.
