Coast To Coast Walk + Julia Bradbury's Iceland Walk & Canal Walks + The Dales

What's that? You don't live in the UK and you'd like to go there this summer but the cost of air travel, 'affordable' B&B accommodations, meals, transportation and VAT getting you down? Well here's an 8½ hour escape into the beautiful countryside....make that 7½ hours because 1 hour is spent in Iceland.

The Coast To Coast Walk
The Coast To Coast Walk is a 200-mile foot path in Northern England that runs from St. Bees on the Irish Sea, through the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. For those who don't have the willpower or time to take the hike, you can watch this video and do it in 52-minutes from your favorite chair with your eyes in a low-flying helicopter.

Julia Bradbury's Iceland Walk
Julia's back and she's got her hiking boots on again.
"Julia Bradbury heads for Iceland to embark on the toughest walk of her life. Her challenge is to walk the 60 kilometres of Iceland's most famous hiking route, a trail that just happens to end at the volcano that brought air traffic across Europe to a standstill in 2010. With the help of Icelandic mountain guide Hanna, Julia faces daunting mountain climbs, red-hot lava fields, freezing river crossings, deadly clouds of sulphuric gas, swirling ash deserts and sinister Nordic ghost stories as she attempts to reach the huge volcanic crater at the centre of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier."

Julia Bradbury's Canal Walks
"Seasoned stomper Julia Bradbury dons her walking boots once again and this time she is exploring her own British backyard, travelling along the country's network of canals and their accompanying towpath trails. This sees her navigating Highland glens, rolling countryside and river valleys, as well as our industrial heartlands, following these magical waterways as they cut a sedate path through some of the country's finest scenery."
