I know the distances that I will be walking each day but I can't seem to find anyone who knows what kind of time periods it takes to cover any of the legs. I know everyone walks at different speeds but if there is an average time out there for each stage it would be gratefully appreciated so my days could be planned a little better. Thanks in anticipation.

St. Bees to Ennerdale Bridge - 6 - 7 hrs.
Ennerdale Bridge - Rosthwaite - 6 - 7 hrs.
Rosthwaite - Grasmere - 5 hrs.
Grasmere - Patterdale - 3 - 4 hrs.
Patterdale - Shap - 7 hrs.
Shap - Kirkby Stephen - 9 hrs.
Kirkby Stephen - Keld - 5 - 6 hrs.
Keld - Reeth - 5 hrs.
Reeth - Richmond - 4 - 5 hrs.
Richmond - Ingleby Cross - 9 hrs.
Ingleby Cross - Clay Bank Top - 6 hrs.
Clay Bank Top - Glaisdale - 6 hrs.
Glaisdale - Robin Hoods Bay - 7 - 8 hrs.
Bay Hotel Bar - at long as you like!

Dave.

I agree with Longstride, stride for stride apart from Claybank top to Glaisdale 7hours plus whatwever time spent in Lion inn for lunch and reeth to richmond being 3.5 to 4 hours but the others are pretty much what i would put them at!¬
