Good pics! Spotted all the extra bits you got in the lakes.
This version (Ravenglass to Tynemouth) of the C2C is great for anyone wanting to start touring/multi day riding. Can be ridden on any kind of bike. Managed it with some mates in 2 long days on a 60's bike with a 42/53 + 13-23t block, yeah there are some grindy hills between Carlisle and Hexham, but otherwise totally fine. Can be done in 3 leisurely days. Can also make it into a loop by dropping down the Eastern coast then back across pennines on the other C2C route finishing back at (St Bee's, but easy to just end up at Ravenglass).
