We're doing this in June after doing the C2C last year which was amazing, anyone done it, got any advice?

I have checked out http://www.coast-and-castles.co.uk/ website but would like first hand knowlege from someone who has done it.

It's longer than the C2C but have a feeling it's going to be easier!

hi
which way are you planning on doing the coast and castles?
i would love to do the coast and castles and the 3 rivers also making a total of around 330 miles.
i would start at edinburgh and finish at middlesbrough which is only 4ish miles from where i live.

We're doing it the other way - starting at Newcastle then heading north - probably have a night out in Edinburgh whilst we're up there.

Thinking of doing the 3 rivers as training.

Hi,

Day One at 32 miles Wansbeck Riverside Park, Ashington (or might do a B&B as i don't arrive in Newcastle till 2.30ish

Day Two Annstead Holiday park at Seahouses at 72 miles

Day Three Old House Country Patk at Berwick Upon Tweed 100 miles

Day Four Gibson Park at Melrose, 145 miles

Day Five Tweedside Caravan Park Innerleithen 163 miles

Day Six Drummohr Campsire ne Musselburgh 193 miles.

Day Seven 7 miles into Edinburgh, spend a couple of hours looking around and then train home

Last year i did the C2C in two and half days but as i am camping and fully loaded this year i have allowed me much more time, hope the weather will be kind end of September,
