Andrew Underdown hopes to walk over 1200 miles across Britain from Cape Cornwall to Cape Wrath Cape Cornwall is 4 miles from Land’s End, the most south westerly point in mainland Britain; early map makers thought it was the furthest tip of Cornwall. Cape Wrath is the north westerly point. Our route follows long distance trails (Cotswold Way, Heart of England Way, Pennine Way), local footpaths, hill tracks, mountain and moor, lanes and canals. Mostly camping but including hostels, B & B and inns. Starting after Easter and hoping to finish by the end of July. Littleborough will be the half way point. Why? Because it will be a great tramp passing through wonderful landscape from Cotswold villages to the wild coast of Sutherland, from Cornish coast to the open northern moors. And hoping to get to know the land that I’ve lived in and have some good conversations on the way
