Those of you with long memories might remember a thread with the same name in which I said I was planning such a trip....well this Easter (2007) we start. Unfortunately we have to go to Denmark and to Ireland this year so we aren't going to do this in one year even but I've made up the following rules for myself.
The journey will be clockwise starting and finishing in Southampton.
Where there are roads to do it we will stay within 5km of the coast and always use nearest road to the coast even if it involves retracing our path.
Each segment of the journey will count if it starts from where the previous one ended. (ie can't do N Devon then a bit of the Cornish coast.)
Well the first bit will probably be a day trip and might only get us as far as Swanage but even the longest journey needs a first step.
Regards Frank

Get behind early - it gives you more time to catch up.

We aren't far from the coast in the Southport area & you'll be crossing over the River at Penwortham. The brew is always on ... or I'll call & have one with you!
Hope you put up the project on a webpage.
Enjoy every mile.

This is something that we would like to do, but it would be impossible for us, but wold like to try and get as far as we could, break the journey and start at the same spot next trip.

We have many "homes" (campsites) along the Suffolk and Norfolk coastline. Make sure you call in and stay a while. We are currently a few miles from the coast at Gorleston
