Coast to Coast (C2C) Cycle Route

Due to the prevailing wind West to East is the preferred direction.

A three day cycling period is achievable, but do not under-estimate the physical effort required. The stage from Penrith to Stanhope is the most difficult. Our four day cycling period splits this stage into two namely Penrith to Alston, and Alston to Stanhope.
