Mountain Bike Coast to Coast. MTB trail Coast To Coast – The Tim Woodcock Route.
As outlined in Tim Woodcock’s guide: The Coast-to-coast Mountain Bike Route Pack. This route is usually travelled west to east using bridleways and other off road routes to cross the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors to Robin Hood’s Bay on the Yorkshire Coast. The route is punishing, exhilarating and adrenalin filled! High points include Black Sail and Tan Hill. There are some road sections notably between the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Some people have attempted it in 24 hours but most do it over a number of days and independent hostels are a perfect accommodation choice. Many of our hostels have bike storage and washdown areas and some even have repair facilities. Providing bedding and cooking facilities means you don’t have to carry a sleeping bag and camp stove and many also offer evening meals and breakfast so you don’t even need to carry provisions.
You can find the GPS for the route here.
