- This is our 5th coast to coast ride with school students. In the past we have done the Way of the Roses route three times and the Lake District route once. Although this is the second time I have done The Hadrians Wall route it is the first time for the students.
In the past the students have been 13 to 16 years old so we took a group of about forty six to forty eight students. Yes that was a crazy sight on the road. For this trip we are taking students starting from 11 years old so they are a bit younger we decided to lower the group size to twenty.
We have split the route up into three stages. Day 1 is 106 km, Day 2 is 79 km and Day 3 is 32 km.
This video is the first day and the route can be seen on this GPX file. It goes from the start in Allonby to our first camp at Banks.

I also include a review of the brilliant 12 speed Microshift Shifters and Paul Components Thumbies. Please Paul keep making the Thumbies. They are ace! or Microshift do some top of the bar 12 speed levers with a 31.8 clamp as well as your straight bar ones cause I love changing gear at the top as with flared bars the bar ends can be vulnerable to knocks and this method solves that problem.

I'm about to start this route from Newcastle. It looks really good and you gave so much great information. Thank you for going to the effort of making it. It's a great route series.
Ahh cheers. That is nice to hear. Hope you have nice weather and a really good trip!
Awesome! Really looking forward to the Coast to coast trip! (It’s Ella here from school)
Can’t wait. Whoop whoop!
Cycled the same route the other day from Whitley bay and stopped at the prudhoe riverside cafe before the return trip back home, I took the brompton, it's a good little cycle, spoiled occasionally by the broken glass as you say..
The kids will enjoy the route. There is a lot less traffic and busy a road crossings compared to the way of the roses route 👍🏽
I’m doing the route beginning on the 27th July starting at Ravenglass, I was curious as to whether I would bump into you.
We will starting the 17th. So will be done by then. Have fun though!
When are you doing this route again with your students?
July. Can’t wait 👍🏽
