The only accessible connection through the moors here is along this muddy path through the heath. Although the path is largely unsuitable for cycling, it is not too long and you can use it during your ride. The gravel road heading south called 'Long Drag' at the end of the paved road is closed to the public.

This section is very exposed (winter) leads to minor road north towards Whitley Chapel or to another bridleway south across Hexhamshire Common.

If starting at the north east end, it doesnt look too bad at the start. However, once past that, its very hard to ride. Path is either super narrow or indistinguishable. The heather will snag pedals and gears. There's a significant hike a bike element.
