Über diese Route

This is my C2C route I created for my road touring bike 3 day trip from Whitehaven to Sunderland prepared for May 2011. I converted the gpx file to a tcx file for my Garmin. Having ridden my tcx track, I am not aware of any significant errors. I have also included my cycling directions which I prepared should my Garmin 705 not work.

My overnight stops were at Kirkoswald and Rookhope. I have not followed the published C2C route exactly. From Kirkland I have avoided a small climb towards Murton Fell but instead cycle for about 0.4 miles on the A5086. Choosing to stay overnight in Kirkoswald, it made sense to by-pass Penrith. The most significant off road section that I have included is the incline out of Rookhope to avoid the Crawleyside climb. I rode my 1980s HoIdswoth Mistral to which I've added low gearing and strong Rigida Snyper 700c wheels. I mostly walked up the Rookhope incline, the path was too rough, me too slow and the rocks to wet from the drizzle. After reaching the top of the Rookhope Incline, I cycled on the C2C path for a further 1.6 miles then turned left and walked up a rough path for 430yds to acces a tarmac road.

Here are my cycling directions. I have checked for errors but as I mainly used my Garmin gps, some may still exist which I have not yet spotted. The formatting seems to have changed in the cut and paste process.
