Solway Coast C2C2C

Description

304km cycling event starting from Cresswell. Controls at Gilsland (House Of Meg Café), Bowness On Solway (Hunter Leisure Café), Hallbankgate (Community Hub) - Directly Opposite Junction/Pub and Cresswell., plus 5 information controls.

A very popular event in 2021 - Coast to Coast to Coast in day! Generally a very scenic and varied route, on very quiet roads and as flat as I can reasonably make it, but there's still a few climbs

Starting in Cresswell on the North Sea Coast the route goes across to Bowness on Solway on the Solway Coast before returning via Dalston and Hexham to Cresswell - A C2C2C in a 300km event.
If the weather is good, the views are fantastic, including Hadrians Wall, Solway Coast and Northumberland and the North Pennines.
The route has mainly gentle climbing and any steeper sections are very short, there's also a long relatively flat section in the middle. The current plan is to provide some basic food at controls at Gilsland (87km), Bowness (147km) and Hallbankgate (199km). There are very few other options for large sections of the route, more information in final details.
The intention is we'll also feed you at the end at the Village Hall, you'll probably need it.
Entries will be limited and the event will close when full. Entries open on 2/1/21 - be aware it's likely to be very popular.
