Chris | Early days as yet and I'm not opening a new thread on it, but I'm planning to do the Coast to Coast on the mountain bike. I would include Hartside Pass en route to the Yorkshire Coast, the descent to Leadgate is something else.
If, one does the C2C, look out for a remote hut on the west side of Hartside Pass, this was a overnight lock-up for prisoners (I think) en route to Durham jail. | | | |
