Never done that one but I have done the offroad version several years ago.

Whatever route you do choose- hopefully you have plenty of miles behind you. good luck

Have a look at www.bikeroutetoaster.com - that will help you find a route. I just ran it through but short of posting something huge here it's hard to put the route in. The route it suggested is 240km but that's based on a guess as to specific starting and ending points.

This thread is a little old, but you can use the National Cycle Network for coast to coast. For example Carlisle to Newcastle, just follow Route 10 (very well sign posted)
