About Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk

Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk is a documentary TV series that premiered on BBC Two on January 15, 1990. It has 1 season and 4 episodes so far and has ended. The latest episode, Season 1 Episode 4 "Mount Grace Priory to Robin Hood's Bay", aired on February 12, 1990.

Eric Robson joins the master fellwalker and shares the highlights of his 190 mile walk from St. Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire Coast. This classic, but unofficial, long-distance route was devised by Wainwright in 1972 and traversed what AW described as "the grandest territory in the North of England." Two-thirds of the route lie within three National Parks and today AW’s achievement is regarded by discerning walkers as the finest long trek in Britain.

    4. Mount Grace Priory to Robin Hood's Bay

    The final stage of Wainwright's creation is a fitting climax: savouring the still beauty of the North York Moors, he tells Eric Robson of his love for this countryside, and of the mixture of elation and sadness that marks their arrival on the east coast.

    3. Gunnerside to Danby Wiske

    "Anyone who wanders on the moors soon finds himself in a graphic scene of industrial decay that simply cannot be passed unnoticed. Swaledale has a long history of mining—and that history has come to a full stop." Yet all is not sadness as Wainwright takes Eric Robson to the typically English market town of Richmond then on to a public house to make good a rare inaccuracy in his famous guide book.

    2. Shap Abbey to Keld

    The 35 miles to Keld couldn't be more of a contrast with the Lake District, but Eric Robson discovers that, in AW's company, they're walking through more than 2,000 years of history. In doing so, they cross the Pennine watershed to enter Swaledale—first visited by Wainwright more than 50 years ago, and still his favourite Yorkshire dale.

    1. St. Bee's Head to Haweswater

    The first 50 miles lie in AW's beloved Lakeland beneath the shadows of Pillar, Great Gable and Haystacks, along Grisedale, and by the shores of Haweswater. "It is," says Wainwright, "a country walk of the sort that enthusiasts for the hills indulge in every weekend. It's just a bit longer than most, that's all."

Created by ABC News executive Roone Arledge, the show was designed similarly to CBS's 60 Minutes but focuses more on human interest stories than international and political subjects. The program's name derives from the "20/20" measurement of visual acuity. The hour-long program has been a staple on Friday evenings for much of the time since it moved to that timeslot from Thursdays in September 1987, though special editions of the program occasionally air on other nights.
