We will travel along the Auckland Walk to Spennymoor. At Spennymoor we will stop at the Community Café 'Divine and Delicious' which is very delicious! We will return along the Auckland Walk and quite roads. A slightly shorter alternative is available on the return depending on the riders. We will return to Bishop Auckland via the River Wear and a short notorious climb from The Batts. We will wait for our leader to reach the top of the hill before travelling past the entrance to Auckland Park and along the road before turning right onto a path back towards Brack's Farm Car Park. Mountain bike or hybrid with knobbly tyres would be best but a road bike and road tyres would be OK on most Breeze Rides unless advertised as surfaces on paths are good. Please bring spare inner tubes and cash. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN USING SAT NAV. The system requires a post-code to list a ride but these can be inaccurate as post codes only apply to buildings!
