Looks like a nice event....
The 2021 Coast-to-Coast run is slightly different to normal C2C runs.
We will start on Friday Night (30th July 2021) with a banquet at the Midland Hotel in Morecambe
https://englishlakes.co.uk/the-midland/. For those who have not stayed at the Midland, it's an experience not to be missed. On the Saturday morning we will make our way through the non-tourist roads north to Penrith. We are stopping for morning tea (and the loo) at Kirkstone Pass Inn. For those that like old trad pubs get ready to enjoy. Next stop is lunch at Nent Hall Country House Hotel, just past Alston. We will then cross the North Pennines to Sunderland stopping for afternoon tea at The Drovers Arms in Coniston. The North Pennines are not a national park but an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
The scenery is very BIG and W---I---D---E.
I have secured 40 rooms at the Midland and 30-40 at the Grand Hotel, Seaburn Sunderland. Both are on the beaches.
We will have another banquet at the Grand and on the Sunday visit the Beamish Living Museum. For those who aren't aware of it look here
http://www.beamish.org.uk/ Those staying on the Sunday night can join us for yet another meal.
The hotels, meals and Beamish are all optional.
Entry fee is £10 plus the hotels, teas, lunches and entry to Beamish. No money is required until May and full refunds for cancelations will be given up to 30th June at which point the hotels and pubs will be paid.
