This book was the basis for a Coast to Coast ride completed by myself and 5 friends. A very tough 4 days riding (and carrying).
The routes selected seem to be the best in the areas crossed and in most cases the choice of one route over another can be seen to be justified. (We looked at several alternatives but reverted to those recommended).
The descriptions in the book are vague in places and and not detailed enough to warrant the title of "route guide". The route cards are adequate for marking the route on maps and are mostly very accurate and helpful. However some inconcistencies in description and waypoint mileages led to confusion.
Generally the only book of this route I am aware of, after much searching, and did the job required. A little bit sparse on detail but then the price is fairly low.
All in all our trip was a great success and was based on this route pack so it can't be too bad!

This is more a collection of route cards and line drawings than a complete start to finish guide. I am in the process of plotting the route out onto memory map ready for loading onto the GPS. Directions such as "turn left after the cattle grid are not that easy to follow on the mapping and I have had to scratch my head a few times.
I wouldn't expect to buy this guide and set of without any further preparation but that's not the idea. I should be ready to go by the time summer comes around again and that is all I really wanted from the guide.

I used this guide to plan my trip, which I completed in four days unsupported last September. You cannot rely on this guide exclusively, but it is a huge help. I used the book as a guide to mark out the ride out on OS Maps, which I then made into laminated cards (14 double sided!) to use in a map holder attached to my handlebars. I think most people will use GPS devices now, but I didn't have one. The coast-to-coast is gruelling and not formally marked out - so you will need to be able to orienteer. However, its a fantastic adventure which I thoroughly enjoyed and wholeheartedly recommend!
