64 mile 3 bike ride starting at 09:30 hours on Sunday from The Green at Wetheral.
Heading over the Scottish border via Carlisle airport (no flight options), Hethersgill, Penton, into Scotland near Kershope foot to Newcastleton for lunch (27 mile). Return via Bewcastle, Birdoswald (50 mile (quick ice cream/coffee stop)), Lanercost, Brampton, Hayton, Great Corby & the bone shaker viaduct into Wetheral. Route/map/GPX file >> HERE << A bit "lumpy" but nothing too serious regarding climbs.
For refreshments there are 2 cafes, a spar & convenience store & 3 pubs/hotels at Newcastleton or BYO for a picnic on the beautiful riverside. Venues might be busy so we can decide on arrival.
The weather forecast (at this time) is for plenty of sunshine, dry & warm with light winds. So no excuses get yourself out 😃. If you decide to come along, bring plenty of fluids & sun block as parts of this route are remote without services.
Cheers, John H (text or WhatsApp 07855534727)
