Having done very little training (a total of just 115 miles) since the six-day race back in April I was getting itchy feet and was keen for another adventure, so why not walk that same distance from Bangor across the North Cost of Wales and up to Liverpool?
I booked a train ticket from Euston to Bangor for Friday 9th June leaving at 5pm and arriving in Bangor at 8:30pm, and a train from Liverpool back to London for Sunday morning at 8:30am. Allowing for 30 minute each side that would give me a maximum of 35 hours for a walk that was likely to be around 112 to 115 miles – including a Nova Prestatyn parkrun at about 50 miles on Saturday morning.
I didn’t intend writing a report about my walk but I took a few photos along the way which I wanted to post here.

Thanks for sharing.
The Liverpool Leeds Canal Race would link some of those lines up nicely 😉
Absolutely! Hopefully that will be in my 2024 plans.
