It’s Day 25 of #NWECPAdvent - congratulations! A few miles into Stage 28 is the Welsh border - the end of the #KCIIIECP, for now! At this point you can find the nearest train station, continue to the @walescoastpath1.bsky.social (because why stick to 350 miles when another 870 will do?!) ... 1/2

On the eve of Christmas, Day 24 of #NWECPAdvent is two sides of the #Wirral peninsula from #NewBrighton to #Parkgate on stage 27 of the guidebook. So many highlights - and at the end of a long day, the epic #sunsets the west coast specialises in (no, of course it's never cloudy or raining!!) ... 1/2

Well that'll teach me to do these things just before bed without checking the book. I conflated stages 14 & 15 and knocked it all out of sync ever since! Anyway, day 23 of #NWECPAdvent covers stages 25 & 26 of the book - from #Formby to #Seaforth, and Seaforth to #NewBrighton on the #Wirral ... 1/2

Ange Harker 🦻🦇🤘🥾 @ange-harker.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

So the last few days are upon us, and from now on there's two stages behind each door! Day 22 of #NWECPAdvent takes us from #Tarleton to #Crossens on stage 22 of the guidebook, completing the #RibbleEstuary; and #Crossens to #Formby on stage 23; all via @rspbengland's #HeskethOutMarsh reserve... 1/2

Ange Harker 🦻🦇🤘🥾 @ange-harker.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Day 21 of #NWECPAdvent (& the guidebook) is #Preston to #Tarleton on the south bank of the #Ribble - a really enjoyable day of parkland, farmland and floodbanks as the tidal river widens out to #saltmarsh where it meets the River Douglas. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #NationalTrail

Day 20 of #NWECPAdvent - #Lytham to #Preston - should have been posted yesterday! Lytham's prom & windmill are different again to yesterday's varied Blackpool offerings & mark the start of the #RibbleEstuary stretch. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #NationalTrail #CiceroneGuidebooks

Day 19 of #NWECPAdvent is about as quintessential British #seaside as it gets - welcome to sunny(ish) #Fleetwood, #Blackpool & #Lytham! Don't be put off by thoughts of tarmac: there's beaches, saltmarshes, dunes, lakes, parks, proms, public art, wildlife, piers, a theme park & the odd ... 1/2

Hoorah! Day 17 of #NWECPAdvent is finally here after yesterday’s false start. This stage in my #Cicerone #KCIIIECP guidebook is a grand tour of the #RiverLune from #Overton to #ConderGreen via the first crossing point in beautiful #Lancaster. 1/2

Ange Harker 🦻🦇🤘🥾 @ange-harker.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

A belated Day 16 of #NWECPAdvent takes us from #HestBank to #Overton via #Morecambe and #Heysham - with their connections to very different legendary musicians! #EricMorecambe likely needs no intro, but Heysham chapel carved graves? None other than #BlackSabbath's Best Of album cover 🤘1/2

Ange Harker 🦻🦇🤘🥾 @ange-harker.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

A momentous Day 15 of #NWECPAdvent - we've passed the halfway mark in days (yeah there's 28 in the book), 200 miles in distance, and completed the #CumbriaCoast! These are Far Arnside's limestone cliffs in #Arnside and #Silverdale National Landscape, a mere few miles from the #Lancashire border. 1/

Ange Harker 🦻🦇🤘🥾 @ange-harker.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Day 14 of #NWECPAdvent takes us from #Greenodd to #GrangeOverSands. We’ve crossed #CartmelFell on the old #CumbriaCoastalWay route as the #KCIIIECP isn’t open yet, to reach #HumphreyHead - a stunning grassed and wooded limestone outcrop with rare wildlife and views to #Morecambe and #Heysham. 1/2

Ange Harker 🦻🦇🤘🥾 @ange-harker.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

So we're back on track! Enjoying our little #NWECPAdvent journey? Day 13 leads us through #BarrowInFurness and up the #CoastRoad to #Bardsea. Here's #Newbiggin, with views of the #Lakes and @yorkshiredales.org.uk over the #LevenEstuary & #MorecambeBay.

I didn't forget #NWECPAdvent yesterday - I just didn't have the wherewithal, and that's fine. For all the jokes about #RestDays, they're vital, on long distance walks or in life. I didn't walk the stages as written - many were shortened & done in annual leave because weekends + day job was a *lot*.

#NWECPAdvent window 10 opens on #Haverigg, between #Silecroft & #Millom on the #DuddonEstuary - next to @rspbengland.bsky.social's unique #HodbarrowLagoon reserve. Enjoying the journey? Check the @ciceronepress website for guidebook info! #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP

Today's #NWECPAdvent opens a window on Day 8 of your itinerary - #Seascale to #Ravenglass. A short day allowing rest & exploration, or longer to #Silecroft if you forgot to post (sorry, took a 'rest day') on Sunday & need to catch up on your Insta advent because today is the 9th! You've also... 1/2

Ange Harker 🦻🦇🤘🥾 @ange-harker.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Let's just agree yesterday was a rest day, right?! Day 7 of #NWECPAdvent (we'll catch up) takes in glorious new paths and old classics alike between #Whitehaven & #Seascale such as here at #FleswickBay, also on #AlfredWainwright's #CoastToCoast route. #KingCharlesIIIEnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #C2C

So proud of @catmitchell17.bsky.social and @pennyauthor.bsky.social for making a #Disability focus issue of @thebookseller.com happen after 3 years hiatus. So heartening to see such brilliant books by disabled, D/deaf, neurodivergent writers being published across genres, as in my preview. #BookSky

Books Spotlight page from The Bookseller: disability focus. Preview with tag line 'changing the world through representation', and five category picks by me: these moral bodies by elspeth wilson, awakened by laura elliot, the quiet ear by Raymond antrobus, Annah, infinite by Khairani Barokka and Ramping up rights by Rachel Charlton-Dailey, with intro text: In the three years since the last Disability Category Focus publishing has begun to shift its norms in response to demand for better representation, with successful examples of disabled children’s writers like Elle McNichol showing own voices narratives can be best-sellers, and making a commercial argument for the rest of us. In fiction, from literary to romance to sci-fi and fantasy, the ground for disabled, D/deaf and neurodivergent writers to tell stories with unapologetically disabled, D/deaf and neurodivergent protagonists has been laid and paved, and it shows in the wealth of stories in all genres being published this year. Crime has seen a similar shift, with Chris Bridges ‘Sick To Death’ gripping readers this spring. The space for complex disability memoirs continues to grow as does the need for practical guides both to living well as a disabled person, and to anti-ableism. Hybrid memoirs combining disability and nature writing have sown the seeds for disability nature writing to thrive, reflected in growing confidence from publishers. As disabled people in the UK come under threat of unprecedented withdrawal of support, it is more pressing than ever to hear from disabled people themselves, in their own words. Each of these books might just change the world if they reach the right readers.

Hello! Publishers! Writers! I have everything that's been submitted for this and there's c. 20 books over the entire year, not including the few I know about which didn't get submitted through @thebookseller.com, and NO poetry at all?

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years. We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️
