Coast to Coast (c2c) Whitehaven to Sunderland
This is our journey of the c2c which we started riding at 5am in the morning. We did this over 1.5 days but definitely think its possible to complete in a day, especially on an emtb. Ive tried to include as many of the various tracks so you get to see what to expect. The c2c was developed by Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity and is one of the UK's most popular rides. Each year approx 15,000 people cycle the 140 miles. There's some amazing artwork as you travel through the Lake District and going across the Pennines, and obviously some incredible views.
If you're thinking of doing this , stop procrastinating, put some dates in the diary and get it done, you wont regret it.

Mam Tor MTB in the snow - Peak District

I've ridden The Mam Tor area a few times but never in the snow, so when the forecast was predicting a heavy dump of snow, we loaded up the van and headed for a weekend of fun in the Peak District. Day 1 was just a chill ride heading up Potato Alley but we soon found the path blocked with a snow drift. Day 2 was meeting up with Boots on the Ground who organises group rides in and around the Peak...

    So many questions! First of all, well done. 👏🏻 How many spare batteries did you have? What navigation did you use? Where did you get the route from? My brother and I did it in three days a couple of years ago on emtb’s. We tried again just recently and got into trouble 35 miles in. We set off late, and it was getting very dark 3 miles from our first stop. Komoot took us into a boggy, overgrown, unused marshland. It was horrendous, and we called off the rest of the trip. 🤦🏼

    I did it 20 years ago, and missed the route twice, near Keswick and and the Consett. It was good to see some bits I'd missed, even though I couldn't go off toad as much as you could. What a shame that cafe at the top of Hartside burned down. It was a welcome stop after that climb, up the little road avoiding the main road. Would love to do it again, but I fear I'm not up to it any more. Very enjoyable video, thanks.

The issue you have now is with them not making them anymore rhe prices have gone up . There's a guy called Steve ambrose in the skydio fb groups who did have a few new ones . I've bought spares from him in the past and he's a legit guy . I think the cost though is about 2k for a new one from him . If youre gonna be using a drone for following you on a mountain bike I don't think any other drone comes close and I've got 4 other dji drones.

    Cracking video mate. I have the same drone. Does it ever just stop and hover in follow me mode. Mine only seems to follow me for a minute or so and then stops. But I do stick mine in my backpack. I can see you got yours set up on the handlebars.

      Thanks for the kind comment . That seems strange. Mine keeps following regardless . It only hovers when you stop obviously . Has it got you in plain sight ? You're talking about the skydio 2+ right ?

      Oh actually looking at the date of the video, you're talking about the air 2s. Even so it should continue to follow you regardless unless it loses sight of you

      No its a bit of a con on there and doesn't help tbh . Best bet is just keep hitting tons of fb groups uve found is the best way but obviously takes alot of investment in time

    I am more inspired than ever to do this (and living a few miles from Whitehaven, I have no excuse). I didn't realise how much of it was off road, which is great

    • @MarkSawtell

      There is quite a bit of it on roads to be fair but very quiet country roads and hardly saw any cars . As you go along you get offered an alternative off road section . I was amazed how well signposted either section was . You could do this pretty much without a gpx although there were a couple of sections where you could turn left or right and no signpost to confirm but if you didn't see a sign within a few hundred yards , you probably made the wrong choice lol. Thanks for the comment and yes deffo go do it 👍

    Welcome to my Playing Area guys, I've done this ride several times and it's one of my favourite routes. The weather is different every time I do it.. it adds to the excitement.. you're always welcome up here.. Keep Up The Cadence 👍

      Beautiful part of the country mate . We have made a few friends riding up there and try and get up there once a month . I've been a bit slow on edits due to other commitments (learning cad software for 3d printing and European trips ) but hope to be doing regular visits up there again!
