C2C St Bees to Whitby

[taximan]

One of the things on my must do list for many years has been a Coast to coast crossing. At long last I have achieved this. For anyone interested I have posted a report together with some pics on my website www.bootsbikesandbeer.weebly.com simply log on and go to the appropriate place. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi thistler
The route is one of our own devising and as it turned out it seemed to tick all our boxes although the Old Coach Road section wth a loaded bike was a bit of a challenge for me, It would be fantastic going the other way I think. As to the tent, I think it is made by Pro-Line, It was bought origionaly as a festival tent for my grandaughterand in my opinion, thats where it belongs. I dont know how well it would cope with rain, but I do know that condensation was a problem and it will be no great wrench to hand it back. I will be looking for something a little better if I do any similar trips in the future

Glad you enjoyed the site Sarah_H. I honestly do not think we could have picked a better route exept perhaps for the detour we made looking for breakfast on day 5. Good luck with your plans.
