C2C - The Pictures

May 12th-14th 2000

I had intended to take lots of pictures - in the end I took a few.  I was either too tired to stop or going uphill or downhill and didn't feel like it !  So these are the few that I have.

 

Day 1  Let's start at the beginning - fresh from the wheel-dipping at Whitehaven marina.

On route somewhere near Loweswater/Crummock Water

Dominic, Simon, John, Rod, Nigel, Graham, Dave, Chris

The first bit of Whinlatter Pass - this is the steepest bit

 

Refreshment at Greystoke (John and Simon/Igor)

 

Chris, Dominic and Rod

 

Jeff (Support), David and Nigel

 

And Graham

 

Day2 - Refreshment at Langwathby

 

 

The Silliest Sign on the route (this is at the bottom of Hartside on an uphill bit) !

Day 3 - Top of the route - just outside Nenthead

 

The surfaced alternative from Rookhope - I beat Rod up a hill!

 

The Wearmouth Bridge - Sunderland

At last - Roker marina - final stamp

And the final wheel dipping - the entire set of riders in their T-Shirts
