We planned to cycle this route in May, but due to Coronavirus it has been postponed...good stuff as back then it was -13 degrees and slightly stormy.
We have been cycling along the West Coast twice already, and this time we opted for The Great North Trail, an off-road route designed by Cycling UK which would bring us to astonishing landscapes and more important away from cars.
Planning a trip up North always requires a level of optimism and craziness. Even though the weather has been like the West Coast itself, full of ups and downs, we have been rewarded with a few beautiful days and overall it was worth it.
