The great cycling comeback is underway I even broke out the best bike.
Mostly off road with some on road bits, it helps get the average speed up.

Walk to the Hive stadium and back
We’ve been in Scotland today to watch the women’s rugby international between Scotland and France.

Gosforth Park and back with Allison
Easy stroll up to Gosforth Park with the boss. We even stopped for a drink at The Border Minstrel.

Did the off-road track up to Ponteland, the Reivers then a blast past the Airport down by the Red Bulls ground and back through the Great Park.

Ash Gill Force from Nenthead
This walk was inspired by a walk I spotted on Komoot. Mine was slightly different in that I misinterpreted the original route and took a wrong turn at Ash Gill.
There’s free parking at Nenthead mine and the walk starts up route 7 the off road C2C, the last time…
