Description by the author

This is the 8th and final day of the bike ride along the Hadrian Wall and Wainwrights Coast to coast route. The low budget route goes from campsite to campsite. The section along the Hadrian Wall follows National Cycle Route 72 to Carlisle. After Carlisle, the track curves towards St. Bees, the starting point of Wainwrights coast to coast from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. This coast to coast route is originally a hiking trail. I have tried to include bike paths and quiet roads that are as close to the walking route as possible.

This is the eighth and last day of the cycle route along the Hadrian's Wall and Wainwrights Coast tot Coast.

The low budget route goes from campsite to campsite . The part along the Hadrian's Wall follows the National Cycle Route 72 till Carlisle. After Carlisle the track bends in the direction of St. Bees the starting point of Wainwrights Coast to Coast from the Irish sea to the North sea. This coast to coast route is a walking route. I tried to use cyclingpaths and quiet roads that are situated as near as possible to the walkingroute.

This stage goes through the North York moors. A completely different landscape with cutthroat slopes. Here the cyclists curse and they have no luggage to carry up. 20% slopes up and down await you. Rest in time because until Robin Hoods bay there is not a meter flat.

The campsite in Robin Hoods bay is located in front of the village. The view over the North Sea is fantastic.

The grounds are very open. There are few hiding places but the owners are very friendly and helpful.

Please note: In the village there is only 1 small grocery store. Restaurants abound.

Don't forget to throw the pebble you picked up on the beach in St. Bees into the North Sea and dip your shoe in the waves. YOU DID IT !!

This stage passes through the North York Moors. The landscape is completely different with killing hillslopes. Here the cyclists with light bicycles swear to the gods and they don't even have luggage to take up. Hillslopes of 20 % up and down are awaiting you. Take a break at the time because till Robin Hoods bay there is no flat yard.

The camping in Robin Hoods Bay is before the village. The view on the Northsea is fantastic.

The terrain is very open. There are almost no places to shelter, but the owners are very kind and helpfull.

Beware: In the village is only 1 tiny foodshop. Plenty of restaurants.

Don't forget to throw the pebble, that you picked up at the beach in St. Bees, into the North sea and to dip your shoe in the waves. YOU DID IT!!
