C2C on my own...Recommend?

[Baldy]

Milford Haven to Great yarmouth looks a good coast to coast...

Is that an actual thing? I'd have thought St David to Lowestoft would make a more logical choice.

Certainly there are lots of possible Coast to Coast routes, but when folks refer to "The Coast to Coast", I think they usually mean the Sustrans C2C. Which, incidentally, Sustrans say means "Sea to Sea".

I always fancied doing a C2C

Sure. That's even shorter than the Devoran to Portreath one.

I would like to cycle the C2C but there is no one who wants to do it with me.
That doesn't bother me too much as i'm quite happy in my own company.
I am aware though that the journey isn't always going to be plain (cycling) sailing so the question is.....
Has anyone on here cycled the C2C on their own? Any problems? Mishaps? Advice?
Probably do it next year so i can build up my fitness and save the dosh needed to maintenance, B&B, train fares, food etc....

I did C2C last weekend. Full write up here if you want to take a look, including accommodation details for where we stayed and details of the hills 😬

In all seriousness it is manageable on your own, but it would have been much less enjoyable for me without my 3 cycling mates (and 1 support mate) spurring each other on.

Mobile signal does become very intermittent on Day 2.

Double crossing in a day. Drive to one coast. Ride to the other side and back again to your car. No transport headaches, no accommodation needed. Job done!

A route of my own design - started at Seaham on the Durham coast, turned at Flimby to avoid going in and out of Workington.
