| A trip thro Thurnton woods | Sadoldsamurai | Aug 15th 2010, 10:09 | 6.5km |
|
|
| An approximation of a route mainly fire roads, the odd bit of single track/rooty sandy stoney bits... | |||||
| Harthope Burn Broadstruthers, Wooler's Mountain Bike Challenge' | Sadoldsamurai | Mar 28th 2010, 04:43 | 21.6km |
|
|
| This route has quite a fair amount of tarmac, and some steep tarmac climbs. It includes a very pleasant meander along the tarmaced road up the Harthope Valley, some well surfaced if stoney tractor tracks some of which are real granny gear grinds, and a couple of stretches of nice bridleway. Nowhere is there anything really 'technical', although the narrow deep sheeptracks can be difficult and I would suggest the alternative route some 200 mtrs further up the tarmac towards Langelyford. Most of the route is very easily navigated. The uploaded GPS file is accurate to about 5 m. each side of the trail. | |||||
| Ingram Powburn Titlington Access land and back | Sadoldsamurai | May 16th 2009, 11:52 | 28km |
|
|
| This route uses the delightful DEFRA scheme financed permissive bridle path through Shawdon Dene, includes a stiff road climb, follows a bridleway through Titlington to the Access land and back via Beanely (Just()y's new home. It has good views and only one really stiff climb. | |||||
| Ingram Prendwick road to the hill fort and back via the duck pond | Sadoldsamurai | Apr 29th 2009, 04:26 | 8km |
|
|
| This route follows the green lane/drove road up to the hill fort, bears right across the hill and returns via the gully and duck pond, more hill forts and down the bridleway to Ingram Farm At the duck pond you can wonder at the awe inspiring nature of the subgalcial meltwater gully as researched by Chapman et al. in the 1960's in their seminal works on fluvioglacial processes in the Cheviots, work undertaken under John Sharpe, to whom I am indebted for an appreciation of the Cheviot | |||||
| Tarmac alternative (NCN68) missing off road/ crossing fields at Clennell. | Sadoldsamurai | Feb 8th 2009, 11:33 | 3.9km |
|
|
| This is a tarmac alternative to the off road section from Clennell. It's the same sort of distance. | |||||
| Prendwick to Ingram a possible off road alternative braid for NCN route 68 | Sadoldsamurai | Feb 7th 2009, 07:53 | 5.3km |
|
|
| This route misses out the A697, but does involve a stiff climb on a very poorly maintained (for cycles and none 4*4's) track. In my opinion it's a valid alternative as it passes a good example of an iron age hill fort, and has a nice exhilarating downhill to Ingram, with great (Doddington's) ice cream available in the summer. | |||||
| NCN 68 Alwinton to Wooler section | Sadoldsamurai | Feb 7th 2009, 06:11 | 40km |
|
|
| This is the section of NCN68 I am a responsible for as a Sustrans volunteer ranger, any comments please direct through this website comment facility | |||||
| Training run nice and easy | Sadoldsamurai | Feb 5th 2009, 07:00 | 21.9km |
|
|
| Nice easy couple of hours run, nothing too strenuous. | |||||
| Ingram hill training | Sadoldsamurai | Feb 4th 2009, 03:18 | 5.8km |
|
|
| Slow muddy climb, nice easy downhill and finish with the 'technical' along the top of the wall | |||||
| Brandon to Ilderton alternative braid (NCN route 68) | Sadoldsamurai | Jan 24th 2009, 12:29 | 7.1km |
|
|
| A suggested alternative to the Ingram, Roddam, Ilderton bit of NCN route 68. Some off road but nothing 'technical' (and NO FORD). You might like to try accessing http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu97/sadoldsamurai/Brandon%20to%20Ilderton%20braid/ for some photos of what to expect. Happy mudplugging!
