Featuring Adam's abortive earlier attempt, the gap in Rob's record, crossing another railway and another major road, getting on to the North Yorkshire Moors, the man in red, Adam's elusive Wain Stones, the unfriendly cafe, Rob's elusive Paul, and the relevant works of David Nicholls.

    Coast To Coast - Kirkby Stephen To Reeth

    30/07/2026 | 58 mins.
    We join Rob & Paul on the top of Nine Standards Rigg, just out of Kirkby Stephen on day four of the coast to coast, where they talk about their adventures so far - plus Rob's metamorphosis into Long Distance Man, skylarks, and a good solid path. Then, unfortunately, Paul has a bingle - live. CONTENT! In part two - beyond Keld - Rob runs with Mark 'GB Sticks', and they talk Wainwright, Lake District Ultras, the kindness of Sabrina Verjee, whether Curlews can fake injuries, running apps, the 'last' hill and the 'last' mile, Mark's warnings to Paul, arrival in Reeth, and a very sociable day's running all round.Thank you so much Mark!
