Hi Im new to this forum so please bear with me.

I am looking to ride the Coast 2 Coast wainwrights path in August 09 for a local childrens hospice, i am a very experienced mountainbike rider but im looking for guidance and information regarding the best route. I am quite aware that some of the path is not rideable and so im looking for alternatives routes to try and avoid walking and carrying my bike.

I have also been looking at buying books maps etc and most get very poor reviews, so if anyone can also give me personal advice on this that would be great. :D

Thanks for reading...

    This is the best book:
    http://www.wainwright.org.uk/coast_to_coast/index.html
    Or alternatively
    http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/
    The Sea to Sea(C2C) runs from Workington to Sunderland and is on easier trails/roads/disused railways.I'm sure you could jumble both routes around a bit to get a more ridable route.The C2C is marked with blue fingerposts(in Cumbria at least),the Wainwright route obviously isn't.Its only really the first day/Lake District section that's a hike-a-bike on the Wainwright route.


    Good luck mate
