The April 2013 Planning Meeting (First in a Series?)

Fun evening at the L's yesterday. RL, FL, CL, MM, IM, NM, LM, LC, DC, MC, KC. And Maisie (who hid her disappointment admirably after being immediately excluded from the adventure.)

With Julia Bradbury's Coast to Coast DVD playing as a backdrop, we discussed the trip. Current thoughts:

• Take 3 weeks to do the hike, so it ends up more like 10 miles a day rather than 14 miles a day. 
• US schools are out June 17th, UK schools July 19th. So probably some time during that 4.5 week span. Most important thing is to clear the Lake District before the UK summer holidays begin.
• Maybe book in the early fall?
• Is LM (eight by then) able to walk this? The youngest walker ever was a 6 year old girl, so possible, but surely challenging.
• Meet monthly for trip planning (including comparing mileage logged?!!??)
