Hadrian's Cycleway & Coast 2 Coast

Dave's third cycling adventure is another little gem for fans of amateur cycling memoirs. Following on from the success of his 'LEJOG' and 'Wales Trails' books his latest outing charts a week in the north of England where he tackles two iconic cycle routes: Hadrian's Cycleway and the Sea to Sea (C2C).
In true Buddhist fashion Dave cycles clockwise across Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and Durham. Taking in ancient Roman sites, great modern cities and the beauty of the Pennines and Lake District. Once again he makes his journey come alive with witty comments, weird references and superb photographs.
If you're thinking of doing a similar ride then this account will act not just as a guide but also highlight the pitfalls of a lack of planning, reliance on technology and disregard for the power of the British weather.
A very funny book.
