Route in the Spotlight!
2008 Coast to Coast - from Kirkby Stephen
Country: United Kingdom
Distance: 13 miles
Description: Good first day. In and out of rain. Started off alone but hooked up with 3 other guys 2 from Australia and one from the UK. Rain in and out all day. Chose the lower route with less chance of bogs and had a great first day
Good to have others around a critical stages for map checks. Just like last time is a big pub crawl and so met up with others today on the trail or in the pub.
Rain gear holding out OK. Still not great with rain but also make for some pretty coold going in to the mist moments.
All in all a pretty easy day and good for navigation exercise.

We here at Verified Routes have a mission. That mission is to provide
our users with routes that are entered and verified by other users and will
provide you with 'local knowledge' of an area.
Whether you are new to an area or looking for some new routes or maybe switching sports and needing different type of routes we can help. How about you road warriors that are traveling to a new area and want a workout. You can now have local knowledge of good routes that are near where you are staying.
You can get an idea of what we offer by clicking on the route in the spotlight map to the left. This will show you the information that we have available on that route.
What makes these routes special? That's easy. They are tailored for human power. Be that riding, running or walking. There are lots of other types of solutions for the automobile crowd but we want to provide good solid routes that will keep you off of major roads and maybe even have unique solutions to tricky situations that we all run into while using the open roads.
With integrated maps and downloadable gps coordinates it will make it easy to find and scout routes. Also from the integrated maps you can easily get driving directions to the start of the route. Members can provide feedback and even rate the other members routes and route sharing 'skill'.
Sharing is the name of the game here. A route that you think of as just my" boring usual" might, for someone new to the area, be a great 'find'. GPS makes it easy to find and share these routes.
Thanks for joining us!!
