Cycling C2C Whitehaven to Sunderland Aug 2010... in 2 minutes

Our five day experience of doing the C2C route was fantastic for its variety: railway tracks, country lanes, lush lakeside roads, massively challenging hills, crazy helter skelter 'downs' , villages, cities, beaches, moorland, farmland i.e everything. We loved the way it brought you into a 'close-up' way of looking at England and all the different types of landscape it has in it. We especially liked the way you have to weave around the towns e.g at the beginning at Whitehaven -- to get to the cycling only routes and cycle-friendly quiet roads. It felt like a kind of rerouting -- although obviously it's Sustrans which has painstakingly provided all the signs, and organised the best way of travelling by foot/bike. It felt like being liberated from the normal confines of travelling. It's surprising just how quickly you can get up a hill under your own bodily effort. It was great how you could share the experience with everyone you met and re-met -- discussing weight on bikes, bike weight and -- big subject -- hills, as well as the especially good bits -- like reaching the top of Hartside hill. Above all though, it was the 'weaving' part that was best. Jon Jackson, Vickie Joel August 2010
