Ponteland - heddon on the wall loop

I like this run up in the hills behind pont. Mostly gravel on the way out then a chunk of Rd on the way back - might be fun the other way around as well.

Waggonways take 2...

After great success two weeks ago following someone else's route I thought I'd do my own.

Pretty good but not as good. Some road sections that were a bit grim, however the run down hollywell Dean and along to Seaton sluice is magic and the nice fast waggonways around killing…

nice one I think I know the grim road bits but you can avoid them in the main and get more good trails in. Killingworth to Backworth and Seghill back to Backworth being the main ones. You can avoid the New Hartley to Double Row road as well but it adds a little more mileage, but good tracks

Waggonways to the coast!

This turned out longer than planned but I was determined to get to the sea!

Also my first real zip around the killing worth waggonways and hollywell Dean. Some lovely paths and tracks. Hollywell Dean is fun though the first bit has some big ol' steps - maybe swap to…

First ride since becoming a dad!

I now have a tiny person to look after so this was both short and needed!

I suspect I'll be getting out less frequently for a bit, but so nice to see the wild flowers, nature etc!

Would be rude not to! 🥵🌞

I like this little loop. Almost entirely off road and has a bit of everything. Long ol climb back up the hill was sweaty today!

Pont and dinnington figure 8

Good to get out and this is a lovely loop but just not feeling it for some reason.

Some days you feel like a god of the wind on a bike and others it's all just a bit of a slog, no matter how nice the paths.

Great to see…

That track near where Sage used to be is notorious for being a swamp!

The best gravel loop in the north?

Back to do this loop solo, it's just so nice.

Beautiful views, great track, always more up hill than you think.

Prefer this way round as well - downhill(ish) on the way back.

It's colder and windier out there than it looks! Didn't have enough layers! 🥶

Met a beautiful horse and the cherry trees being out makes everything better!

Guys, guys! Suns out!

My local lanes and paths but with a couple of new bits out towards wylam. Long hot climb back up from the river though!

One slow puncture but a lovely sunny meadow to sit in and swap it out, saw a deer and I'm pretty sure a red squirrel as…
