After bantering with my mate Aidy today about the possibility of him doing the C2C2C with me he said he’d possibly do it if the cycle part was over 2 days. I think he thought we were doing the C2C from The Lakes to Newcastle, the easier less scenic route. After I explained I wanted to do the harder The Lakes to Robin Hoods Bay trip and that it would take 3 days to cycle I then piled him with COME ONs.

I then took it upon me, whilst researching on websites about C2C cycle routes and C2C walks I was able to plot a quick route based on stopping at the nicest B&Bs and going via the most scenic routes.

Here is a quick idea of the routes we could take:
