LRO Coast to Coast here we come!
Its finally arrived, we are going to do the C2C, St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay, from LRO a year or two ago. Been waiting for this for ages, hope I don't get us too lost, there is lots of potential! I have "driven" this via street view and some parts do look stunning!
I had looked at the route Hairy Dan had suggested but that really needs at least 3 days to do it justice, whilst this one takes in some of the same lanes in the East and gives us new ones (to us) in the west and Neil Watterson did it in two days, which is about all we can spare.
I'll post photos and our route later in the week.Joined the BMWX5 45e group
