I had a stab at the Coast to Coast to Coast over the weekend on the road bike, passing through my own-devised route through The Dales and The Lakes with an overnight stop (and piss-up) in Workington.
A disagreement between my pedals and my knees saw me DNF after 185 miles (with 90 still to go).
I wrote (and whinged) about it here: http://outdoorfirmo.wordpress.com/2013/ ... ike-day-1/ [Note, I wasn't bivi'ing - so some of you may not be interested ]
I'll definitely have a stab at this again some day, so if ever anyone fancies it, drop me line....
