The Sea-to-Sea (C2C) bike ride - Whitehaven to Newcastle
From 15 - 17 May 2008, Peter Morgan (hereafter known as "Peter" for that is his name) and Peter Hobley, (hereafter known as "Pedro" to differentiate him from Peter) embarked on a bicycle ride from Whitehaven in Cumbria to Tynemouth in Newcastle: the Sea-to-Sea (C2C).
You can read about our trip in the day-by-day diary and see some of the photographs we took. For those who may be planning a similar trip hopefully our experiences will inspire, forewarn or maybe even deter you!
Any comments or questions, just email Pedro: pedro@c2c-ride.net.
Note: Why?
For those interested, why did we do it? Why not! It's something that any half-interested cyclist has heard about and would like to do 'some day'.
We're always saying we'll get round to stuff 'eventually' so in late 2007 we decided we'd be going for the C2C in 2008. Planning went from there with the Sustrans C2C map and some rather helpful advice from the definitive C2C guide.
