Format:Spiral-bound
The publisher's of this book have got it right, this really is an 'excellent' book. Unlike some other c2c guide books who concentrate on selling B&B advertising space and offering little else, the Ultimate C2C gives loads of kit advice, preparation ideas, places to visit, accommodation details, useful tel. no.s as well as a potted history of each and every place on the route. This is backed up with useful gradient profiles and detailed route maps -including town plans- with direction tips and colour photos of the route and its surroundings. The guy who wrote the book is a cyclist so he looks at things from the cyclists perspective such as having the guide spiral bound so you can turn to the page you want, fold it over and then being able to fit it into your pocket or handlebar bag ready for reference again. Short of coming bundled with the official route map from Sustrans I can't see this being bettered

Format:Paperback
I left it a little late to get this book. It's major benefit, I think, is planning how to split the route up, where to stay and where to stop to take on more calories during the day. Because of transport there and back, we stayed at Keswick, Allenheads and Sunderland. When I got the book, my heart sank as the profiles showed the second day to be a monster and I may have re-planned had I had the book in advance (though it actually worked out OK). Though there are telephone numbers in the book, if you have O2, you'll find in the heart of the ride, you won't have any signal. Vodaphone seemed OK. I used it on-route to get an idea where good places to have some lunch would be. The ring binder style and size made it easy to carry & I would recommend it. Just get it earlier than I did.

Just finished the C2C and this guide was the best. Much better than the 'official' one which is a complete waste of time. BUT... you will still need to plan your routes carefully as there just isn't enough detail here. And ignore the elevation details...it's worse...

Indispensable for C2C
Excellent for en route information, route profiles and preparation for the C2C ride. Ideally this would be used as a supplement to the Sustrans C2C map. Read more
