Coast to Coast

I am thinking of doing the C2C this year, any advice ?

off road?

Which Coast to which Coast. How far North/South/East/West?

Assuming your doing the southern lakes route, my advise would be avoid Rosset Gill if you dont like crashing,a lot! 😉

Best go North at Black sail Hut and into Buttermere,anything else on the route is pretty straight forward, you just need the weather on your side really.

enjoy 😀

got the route on memory map if its any use to you
get packhorse to carry your bags
fantastic route, dont forget to pick up your pebble from the beach

I would quite like to do this in summer – anyone got a gpx file?

you can save memory map routes as gpx

aha that would be sweet if you don’t mind then – my email is grum at sourpuss dot info

Cheers

I did it last year over the MM weekend. Worst decision I have ever made.
Weather was atrocious, gales,cold etc.
Second day took about 10 hours, me thumbs were that cold I had to use my palms to change gear. A bit of hypothermia me thinks.
NEVER AGAIN.

We did it in three days 2 summers ago. 8 h on d 1, 14 h on d 2, and 12 h on d 3. We were lucky to have a support driver though to ensure that we could change plans as needed. I’m sure Tankslapper will be along shortly to also recommend it! Just don’t stay in Boggle Hole!

Four days for me,using a bob trailer on the last three

easygirl – can I get a copy of the route please?
