Do that. You'll have a brilliant walk (though a long one). Do it from Scotland to Cornwall and you'll get warmer as you go along (though your face will get sunburnt). Go through Cumberland, Lancashire and Cheshire and then down the Welsh borders, And you can have Celts on your right and English on your left all the way. And a song or a tune every step. But alas when you get there you won't find any Cornish speakers (except those who've learnt in night school) the native speakers are long gone. But you'll find brilliant songs, brilliant people. And pasties (oggies)!!!!!! And here is your marching song to lighten your step along the way:

Where be goin to jagger
I be goin to Looe
Gor bugger jagger
I be going there too

Oh how happy us'll be
When us gets to the westcountry
Where the oggies grow on trees
Gor bugger jagger

(more verses available on request). Cheers, greg
