For instance, the majority of Wainwright's stages start and end at low level with a single up-down during the day: many walkers split the Borrowdale–Patterdale stage at Grasmere in order to maintain this pattern and avoid having two major uphill sections in one day. However, Wainwright explicitly states that he did not intend people to necessarily stick to these daily stages, or even to his route.
If one stage is walked per day, with one or two rest days, the route makes a two-week holiday, and web logs of coast-to-coasters seem to indicate that this is the most common way of walking the route. Wainwright's book describes the route in 12 stages, each of which ends at a settlement with at least some overnight accommodation nearby. Wainwright's book has since been revised a number of times in recent years (most recently in 2003) with updates to the recommended route.
The Coast to Coast was originally described by Alfred Wainwright in his 1973 book A Coast to Coast Walk.

Work will commence to upgrade the route and officially open it in 2025 (at 197-mile (317 km) long). However on 12 August 2022 it was announced that the Coast to Coast Walk would become an official National Trail, following a successful campaign by the Wainwright Society (the official Responsible Organisation for the trail ). It has been an unofficial and mostly unsignposted trail. Wainwright recommends that walkers dip their booted feet in the Irish Sea at St Bees and, at the end of the walk, in the North Sea at Robin Hood's Bay. The current actual measured distance is reported as 182-mile (293 km). Devised by Alfred Wainwright, it passes through three contrasting national parks: the Lake District National Park, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the North York Moors National Park. The Coast to Coast Walk is a long-distance footpath between the west and east coasts of Northern England, nominally 190-mile (306 km) long. St Bees beach – start of the walk – from South Head
