We start our Coast to Coast journey from Grange over Sands, riding across Southern Lakeland towards the Yorkshire Dales. A mixture of on and off road sections will take us to Hawes in the heart of Wensleydale.
We stop in Hawes for the night. The thriving market town of Hawes is home to Wensleydale Cheese and the Dales Countryside Museum, which lies in the path of the Pennine Way. The name, Hawes, means a 'pass between mountains', and it stands between Buttertubs and Fleet Moss.

We ride down Wensleydale towards the rich farmland and flatter plains around Northallerton, heading for the village of Osmotherley. Some flatter terrain, but still some uphill and off road challenges.
Osmotherley is located in the North York Moors National Park and is a truly charming, picturesque village unchanged by the sands of time.
