A Coast to Coast Cycle Ride.

If you are a novice, carrying a lot of stuff or with children, and are contemplating a coast to coast bike ride in England, you have done yourself the biggest favour possible by logging on here.

The official c2c route from Whitehaven to Sunderland is, I consider, a little challenging for someone not prepared (see here for an explanation)

Morecambe - Scarborough. 220 Kilometres. Guide

(If you want to alter this to suit yourself go ahead). I have concentrated on one route. This route is challenging, but achievable for inexperienced cyclists or those who wish to smell the flowers on the way! A young person can complete it in fine weather. I am not responsible for anything.

Interesting diversions include The Waterfalls (Ingleton), Hardraw force, Hawes, Jervaulx Abbey, Flamingo land, Pickering, etc

You really should invest in Ordnance Survey Maps 'cos they're the best in the world. The maps on this site are obviously copied from them (So sue me), but there is no substitute for the real thing. Hopefully you might keep yours in pristine condition. Print these, then you can write on them and chuck 'em. I've put them on two separate sheets for printing. Use colour, high quality, landscape, and don't forget to minimise the sizes of your margins and, if you can, expand each image to fill an A4 size paper.
