Are you doing the route that follows the coast up to Carlisle then along the road which parallels the wall? If your fit and willing you can do it in 2 days on a road bike no bother, did it with some friends who had never ridden anywhere and on MTB's with the kitchen sink attached in 4 days though the last day was just 3 hours so didn't really count ;)
After you pass Newcastle city centre/waterfront I would just ignore the cycle path signs as they are mostly turned around/missing, and the cycle path itself is horrific to ride (glass, tree roots protruding upto 4" through the tarmac etc), just jump on the road and session it as its not a nice area.
