I propose;
We travel to Keswick on 9th for overnight stay (if we can get away 8 then we could stop off part way).
Runners to be dropped off in Workington on 10th and run back to Keswick (so 2 nights in Keswick) 25 miles
Day 2 - all travel from Keswick to Penrith on 11th stay in Penrith - 22 miles
Day 3 - Penrith to Hartside Top for runners - car pick up, 18 miles. Stay in Alston or Nenthead or Garrigill that evening to be dropped off at cafe next day for restart.
Day 4 - Hartside to Allenheads (18/19 miles). Stay over in Allenheads.
Day 5 - Allenheads to Consett (22 miles). Stay over in Consett.
Day 6 - Consett to Tynemouth, a really big but mostly downhill day (might increase day 4 and include pick-up/drop off for easier final day) 28 miles or Sunderland option 24 miles then car to Newcastle for 'posh' hotel and a bit of a party!
Hilliest days have been kept short deliberately.
Let me know what you think.
It's getting closer!
