C2C – Whitehaven to Tynemouth – April

Significant locations enroute that I remember: Cleaton Moor Lamplugh Loudswater Keswick Penrith Melmerby Hartside Alston Nenthead  Westgate/Eastgate Stanhope Consett Rowlandsgill

We took the train to Carlisle from Bristol and then from Carlisle (must do Carlisle to Settle sometime) to Whitehaven where we started the cycle ride after staying the night in very grand bed and breakfast that we had pre booked.  As this was hard to find we decided not to pre book any more…
