ROUND trip - 200 miles down the east coast with a couple of diversions to some coastal towns and villages, then 150 miles back up the A68...DaygloDavid wrote: Which route would you take to do 350 miles to Haltwhistle.

Haltwhistle to Dunsop Bridge is just over 100 miles in each direction, a riding time of approx. 2.5 hours each way.

Re: Location, Location, Location.
Sorry for any misunderstanding, the idea of the map/routes was to see if it's practical to ride between the two points in one day, via two different routes, avoiding the M6, apart from two small sections around Lancaster & Penrith.

This is the commemorative plaque on the 100,000th BT telephone box at Dunsop Bridge.DaygloDavid wrote:Dunsop Bridge in Lancashire claims to be the centre of Great Britain and is marked with a famous phone box.
(The Centre of GB is actually the centre of the British Isles.)

...so, does that mean it's also the centre of the universe - in which case..... :vader: might want a word with you.
