HOLIDAY DETAILS
Accommodation The route
sees many cyclists but most of the villages are very small so the
accommodation is in B&Bs. We value your custom but it’s important
to realise we can’t give you all the mod cons and still stick to the C2C
route. Clean, comfortable & friendly is our prerequisite, breakfasts are
included & there will be somewhere to eat nearby.
Food Some of
the route is remote so we recommend carrying water & snacks, but we will
be close by to offer the basics. We will pass through (or near)
small towns and villages and we will offer suggestions for where to stop
but it’s your holiday, you are free to explore, that’s half the fun!
Weather We are in
the North of England, the water to fill the lakes has to come from
somewhere! Even at the height of summer it may rain but it may also be
sunny! Generally it’s a bit cooler than the South of England & it rains
a bit more…. but it’s far from grim!
Getting there & back Your
booking does not include the transport to and from the trip, both
Whitehaven & Sunderland are served by Rail stations and we are happy to
pick you up & drop you off at either end, if you choose to drive we can
suggest a suitable place to park but do not take any responsibility for
parking fees or in the very unlikely event of loss or damage. If you left your car in Whitehaven then transport for you and your bike is available as an optional extra.
Bikes
We strongly recommend you use
a bike that you are used to; aches and pains are greatly reduced if it’s
been correctly set up for you and all the relevant parts are used to you
sitting on them! Its best to get them checked out before you set off, if in
doubt give us a call.
Transporting Your Bicycle
The policies of individual
rail companies vary and frequently change. We recommend that you check when
booking your ticket. If you plan to bag or box your bike for the journey
please let us know as storage space in our vehicle is limited.
If you plan to use a rack on
your car we suggest it is one you have used before & that you have a test
run to avoid disasters on departure day!
