the climb starts gradually so you have to work hard and keep up your pace as the final ascent is steeper on the last leg of the climb and you don't want to lose momentum on your cadence. again once you reach the summit, the views are breath taking over the East Tyne valley down towards Newton and ovingham beyond!

If you're cycling this segment in winter make sure you've got mud guards otherwise avoid like the plague if you don't like your face being splattered with whatever that brown stuff was on the road! if you pull up quietly to whittledean reservoir you might be fortunate enough to witness a Herron on the banks of the reservoir? I pulled up to quickly and startled one which flew off in a majestic arc across the reservoir! not enough time to snap a quick photo though ☹️

Pretty quiet lane, heads southwest to Corbridge or can swing up across the Military road to Matfen
