DESTINATIONS
Coast-to-Coast England
Miscellany
By Karen Berger
Some things, like hiker fellowship, are the same worldwide. If you're the congenial sort, it's best to start on a weekend: Lots of Brits do the hike on a two-week vacation, so Saturday is the most common start date. If you're more of a loner, choose a midweek start. Whichever sort of walker you are, be sure to stop at the Coast-to-Coast Pub in Robin Hood's Bay to sign the register of folks who have completed the trek. If you want a plaque to commemorate your achievement, you can buy one in the shop across the street.
 Coast-to-Coast Bar in St. Bees Don't forget to dip a boot into the sea when you start and again when you finish. It's as traditional as the celebratory pint of ale!
| The Country Code The British version of"Leave No Trace," the "Country Code" makes good sense wherever you're hiking.
• Respect the life and work of the countryside
• Protect wildlife plants and trees
• Keep to public paths across farmland
• Safeguard water supplies
• Go carefully on country roads
• Keep dogs under control
• Guard against all risks of fire
• Fasten all gates
• Leave no litter — take it with you
• Make no unnecessary noise
• Leave livestock, crops, and machinery alone
• Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges, and
walls
