Having a lot of ideas on this double coast to coast and one I'm getting fed up with, that I've decided to do a one-way coast to coast. That is get the early train to Carlisle, change for St.Bees. Then I will choose a route with some nice off-road cycling, that I'm riding a mountain bike. Probably the route will look something like this.
St. Bees - Keswick - Old Coach Road - Pooley Bridge - Patterdale - Askham -
Kirkby Stephen - Nine Standards - Tan Hill - Baldersdale - Barnard Castle - Richmond - North York Moors - Robin Hood's Bay.
I hope to get back home, seeing the local Rambling Club are going to the Lakes on the Sunday, doing Striding Edge.
So with not long to go now, about 4 weeks. I need to get the kit sorted.
