Greg's ride to Warden, BBP Productions

Start 9:30 Pedalling Squares on the south side of the Tyne to Wylam. Cross over the bridge to Ovingham and onto Bywell, Corbridge village a left to Corchester Lane towards Hexham. Cross Hexham bridge then turning right at the end of the bridge following the Tyne west. We follow the railway line (Hadrian’s route 72) to Warden. Stop at the Boatside Inn, for a snack etc. Return to Pedalling Squares the same way.
This is a lovely cycle ride up the Tyne Valley. The cycle ride is 50 miles, a mixture of off road and quiet roads and mainly flat although there is a climb near Corbridge on the outward journey and a shorter climb out of Corbridge on the way back.
This ride is for riders above beginner level, it is suitable for any bike. There is no number restriction and this is a no drop ride, however, we aim to cycle at 10-12 miles per hour.
