Tour of the Mineral Tramways

A very lumpy ride plus lots of rough rocky ground and stopping to take pictures lead to a low average speed.

Hey Brian, great cycle. Just thought I'd drop a message to say I did not cycle the NCN 1 north sea route, I had saved the activity to try and save the gpx file as other methods were not working, and it came up as completed! Just thought a little clarification was needed, I'm toying with the idea though!
