Four
Backpedalers were fortunate enough to spend three days in North Northumberland to
hone their cycling skills by exploring some of the local cycle routes.
Day One
The
day started with a frost but the sky was clear and the sun was shining and
later on the temperature reached a maximum of 22 C – perfect for a bike ride.
The
chosen destination was Coldstream so the route took us across to Kimmerston and
Ford before crossing the A697 and heading towards Branxton and Flodden.
From
Flodden the group made their way to Cornhill then on to Coldstream. After a break
for refreshments at The Hirsel, it was back to Corhill, down to Howtel and Millfield and a brief
stop at The Anchor Inn, Wooler before cycling home to Doddington.
The
total distance cycled was 45 miles.
