Day 5 and Summary

Day 5 Osmotherly to Robin Hood's Bay 97k:
  The last day and the biggest day. Although there was a lot of distance to cover, the moors gave fast, friendly and fun bridleways which crunched the miles up.
  With an uneventful day I soon found myself meeting up with Lucy on the moors and starting the final climb to over look the sea and Robin Hood's Bay. The descent down the fast Cinder track in the fading light gave a great end to a long day and great cross country tour.

Summary:
  Having had a few days to think about the trip, I certainly do another mtb C2C however, I would probably take the pedalnorth route, more to compare than dismiss the route previous route. I would also consider the time of year for the tour, as the trails were far to boggy in places for enjoyable riding and considering last year the route was probably ski tourable it was fairly early. All in all a worth while life tick and thoughts are already drifting to the next challenge...
