Brian's Cycle ride to Matfen

Leave Pedalling Squares and cycle on the south side of the river Tyne to Newburn Bridge and cross over the bridge. From Newburn there is a steady climb to the top of Throckley fell and then on to Stamfordham and Matfen. Stop at Matfen Village Store/cafe for tea, coffee and a snack. Return to Pedalling Squares towards Corbridge, but turn off 2 miles short of east of Corbridge and then a lovely long downward stretch to Bywell. Travel through Wylam and then back along the river. This is a no drop ride.
