....from my ride from Newcastle to, er, Newcastle. Including the ride to/from the local train station I did 446 miles in 10 days. Route was Newcastle-Ashington day 1, Ashington- somewhere west of Berwick-upon-Tweed day 2 (98 miles), that place to Hawick day 3, Hawick to Dalston (near Carlisle) day 4, Dalston to Workington day 5, Workington to just west of Keswick Day 6, to 7 miles west of Penrith Day 7, to Nenthead day 8, to Consett day 9, and to Newcastle day 10. I used various Sustrans & related routes: Coast & Castles, Border Loop, Reivers Route, and the C2C. Accomodation was camping, except in Nenthead because I couldn't find a suitable campsite with spaces. Best part of the C2C section was that I got up all the big climbs with all 21kg or so of luggage without stopping.
I may do a more detailed report if anyone's interested, I have some pictures too.
