Joined: 13 Apr 2012 Posts: 2 Bike: | Hello all, We are three belgium friends planning a to go cycling throuhg England beginning of May. We wanted to do a C2C but going through the three national Parks : Lake district-Dales-Noth York Moors. The only C2C we could find was Whitehaven-Newcastle. We were wondering of anybody knew a route through Cumbria and Yorkshire or had any advice? We planned to start from somewhere between Millom and Whitehaven on the west coast and reach Whitby in 4-5 days. We ride hybrids and plan to ride while enjoying the landscape a bit:). The full idea is to arrive in Hull, take a train from Yorke, ride from West coast to Whitby and go down the East coast back to Hull in 7,5 days. Thanks a lot for your help rgds Nicolas |

The website is below. Hope this is what you are looking for http://www.c2cpackhorse.co.uk/ |

Last summer a group of us did the whitby route over three days on raod bikes very enjoyable scenery (when it was dry). Have a look at http://cyclingw2w.info/ hope this helps darren |
