A gravel rider's delight that starts with a gentle but unrelenting slog of a climb that reward's you with the iconic Kielder photo opportunity at Blackhope Nick before offering you the descent of your dreams. A word of warning though that Forest Drive is a toll route for traffic and although cars are few and far between, not all of them understand the limits of a bicycle and the laws of physics relating to gravel, steering and braking. Be careful descending on the bends.
