Family Adventure Project Rides the C2C

Cycling Route

Details
216.78 km
3,518 m
We rode our own family version of the Coast to Coast (C2C), largely following one of the official Sustrans routes from Workington to Sunderland, but with a few modifications to try and reduce the severity of climbs for kids riding solo for the first time and to visit a few people, places and hotels of interest en-route, like the Whinlatter Forest Park, Lakeland Climbing Wall, Castlerigg Stone Circle, Beamish. We still included the classic Hartside Summit and some off road stretched too to add variety. This map gives an indication of our route. We suggest you plot your own to suit your family, abilities and interests.
