From Wolsingham Road car park in Brancepeth picnic we will follow the Bishop to Brandon Cycle path to Sunnybrow, where we will join the road and climb to High Grange before descending to the Bridge at Witton Park, from here we will do some sculpture spotting, before heading off to the Saxon church at Escomb and beyond this the Lake! A perfect trip for those wishing to dip their toe in an open water swim experience - or just laugh at others! After our dip we will pedal on to Bishop Auckland for lunch and refreshments.
We will return to Durham via the Auckland Way and through Spennymoor.

An Engineering inspired ride to view the newly opened Witton Bridge in Witton Park.

Cycle path and minor roads

We will be stopping for coffee and takeways in Bishop Auckland, however, please do bring your own drink and snacks in case this proves difficult

Helmets are always advisable, as is clothing suitable for the weather. This is a longer ride and the weather may change so we recommend waterproofs, layers, gloves and buffs. Please also bring along a spare inner tube, pump and puncture repair kit as we will be applying social distancing to our ride and will supervise any repairs if required. All leaders will carry sanitiser, masks and gloves.

First-timers welcome!
