Guys, Coast to Coast advice please

For those that have done it before, how did you deal with the logistics of getting to the start point (assuming your not local), and then getting home again?

If you can do 50 miles, two days will be fine and enjoyable! Include some long hills in your training, if you can.

Watch out when you get to Consett, I was too busy playing silly buggers and racing’ my pal through a section of cycle track that weaves snake like between some grass banks... as I turned to look over my shoulder I missed the concrete bollard helpfully placed in the middle of the track. Or rather I didn’t miss it and hit it square on.

If you find my broken molar on the track, can you send it back pls?

Sure you will love it. A proper MAMIL adventure!

went past that spot yesterday

Partner drop off then pick up or train back?

Or buddy up. Support mate he returns favour (if one of you can't get time off to do ride as well).

As there were a group of us (5), we hired a minibus with trailer from the end point to Whitehaven. Staying in b&b’s we only had clothes/washbag to carry.

We’d looked at various relays/car drop offs but nothing quite worked.
