Coast to Coast Bikepacking trip, sort of…..

I met up with Ian again to do what will probably be our last cycling trip of this year, and what a great 4 days we had . We were having a late heatwave and dry spell after the wet summer we have had, so the plan was to meet at Darlington ride to the coast ( Saltburn-By-The-Sea) then catch a train back to Darlington pick up the trail again and head west. And steadily ride west riding through Durham , the Dales and Lancashire and heading for Hest Bank to complete our coast to coast .

    Great vid, I love that Ian looks like he's just jumped on his bike after a day at work and ridden across the country, who needs who really needs all that fancy pants Rapha stuff huh?!

    Fantastic that Dave. That route ticked off so many places I know. We used to stay in a cottage near Barnard Castle and often visited Bowes Museum with the kids. Then I think I recognised Sleightholme Moor, between Bowes and Tan Hill, then of course my beloved Yorkshire Dales. Looks like the weather was kind for you too. ATB, Chris
