A momentous Day 15 of #NWECPAdvent - we've passed the halfway mark in days (yeah there's 28 in the book), 200 miles in distance, and completed the #CumbriaCoast! These are Far Arnside's limestone cliffs in #Arnside and #Silverdale National Landscape, a mere few miles from the #Lancashire border. 1/

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

Yes #SouthWalney is a fab place c/o @cumbriawildlife.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

I didn't forget #NWECPAdvent yesterday - I just didn't have the wherewithal, and that's fine. For all the jokes about #RestDays, they're vital, on long distance walks or in life. I didn't walk the stages as written - many were shortened & done in annual leave because weekends + day job was a *lot*.

🦇I case you missed it - a new episode of our podcast, BatChat, is available - The Hoffman Kiln: Where Bats Reclaim the Dales.
North of Settle in the Yorkshire Dales lies the Hoffman Kiln, a relic of the industrial revolution. It's now an important site for bats of the Dales all year round.

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
