View source for Wainwrights Coast To Coast

I've only run the first ~40 miles of Wainwright's Coast To Coast path, but I'd like to share my insights for other runners. This first section from St Bees to Grasmere is moderately runnable for about half the time, though a lot will depend on your skills as a trail runner, and the trail conditions. There are significant stretches of boggy ground that can suck your shoes off, which makes for extremely slow going. A good chunk of the trail is fairly rocky, and in places you're likely to need to use your hands to get up some steep rocky sections. There are fairly frequent places where you could meet a support crew, and several places where you could resupply if your self-supported.
