Hi, looking for a little bit of advice.
I'm not a seasoned bike rider, more an enthusiastic leisure rider, but I'm aiming during this coming summer to ride the coast to coast Hadrian's Wall route. Setting out from Sunderland I intend to travel the norml C2C to Whitehaven then return by the Wall route.
I'm unsure whether I should look at accommodation en route, or buy a one man tent. A tent would give me entire independence and seems like a good idea sitting in my warm flat. But how is it in reality? Can it turn into a thoroughly miserable experience with bad weather, or even with good weather? I'm in my mid fifties, could and would I wake up as stiff as an old dog?
Anybody actually experienced this scenario good or bad?
