what changes would you make (to the Woodcock version)?

I'm considering - Wasdale to styhead - Stonethwaite to Langdale fell
or whats the best way around Harter Fell (which I've heard is a pig)?

Any others?

Thanks.

    I have got sustran map but it looks really basic and evidently the signage is a bit hit and miss due to trophy hunters etc.

    My first bit of advice would be to get a GPS. Makes navigation a sinch.

    Secondly I'd say to plan in depth....list cycle shops en route, take a decent stack of spares and 1st aid kit and see if the accommodations will wash kit for you....and remember neutrition and hydration!!

    I did the C2C in 2008 from St Bees to RHB-its the one MBR did. Its about 230 miles and 27500 feet of ascent. About 75% off road.

    Do you have a route planned?
