Richmond stamps

Don't just take our word for it…

C2C walkers worldwide talk positively about the Passport scheme. They have posted online about how much they found it, about how it motivated them to reach their daily destination on the difficult days and how finding the stamping agents provided a unique opportunity to get to know new people and places.

1,250 walkers signed up within the first few months giving the Richmond Yorkshire CIC – the non-profit organisation administering the scheme – both the funds and impetus to keep going. Donations have been made to the Wainwright Society and Julia Bradbury’s Outdoor Guide Foundation; an organisation giving children a chance to engage with nature and the outdoors.

Pointing walkers in the right direction…

Richmond Yorkshire CIC is based in Richmond, a beautiful Georgian market town recognised by Wainright as the jewel in the crown on his C2C route, and now a busy logistics centre for the C2C trail.

Volunteers at the town’s award-winning Information Centre, itself an integral part of the CIC, are familiar with helping C2C walkers: listening to their walking stories; sympathising with their aches and pains and pointing them towards a decent coffee, a clean public toilet, or the best place to buy new socks. Some can even claim to have been serving the needs of walkers on this famous trek since it was first mapped out by Wainwright in the mid-1970s!

Our Passport Partners…

This official website for the Coast to Coast Passport was first made possible with the financial help and support of North Yorkshire Council, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the North York Moors National Park, Westmorland and Furness Council and Cumberland Council and The Wainwright Society.

Richmond Yorkshire CIC and all its partners remain committed to using this not-for-profit initiative to help promote one of the UK’s most popular national trails and maintain the path well into the future.
