Are we serious, dude? Why are they suggesting i do it in this order?

"Start in northumbria, go all the way to bristpl and then teleport to the other side of wales"

Looks like one should start in the #8 or #7 stretch if they want to actually continuously circumnavigate the edges of england.

I wouldn't blame them for doing it but I wasn't aware of a trench being dug across the border with Scotland.

We would, but unfortunately in the lowlands we've too many people that haven't got any shovels. They're douglas!

Apparently Wales already has a complete coastal path, so you have to walk the entirety of Wales before getting to 8!

It (mostly) gives access between the path and the sea too! Rules are here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manage-your-land-on-the-england-coast-path
