Meet in the car park, the centre is open from 10.00am with access to faciltiies.  We will follow the 2 Rivers Cycleway along the coast to South Shields, details below: The 2 Rivers Cycleway 10 miles (each way)
'The cycleway from Sunderland to South Shields is virtually all off-road and is well-signed, linking the River Wear to the River Tyne alongside a beautiful coastline. The cycleway hugs the river edge to the North Sea, linking directly to the National Glass Centre, award-winning sculptures and the Marine Activities Centre. The Two Rivers Cycleway continues north to join the cliff top and heads towards South Shields. From Whitburn, the cycleway links to the Souter Lighthouse and Marsden Rock before descending down to South Shields beaches. We will find a nice cafe for top up refreshments and have time to recharge before the return journey.  The route is suitable for most cyclists with a slight climb back to Sunderland to challenge you! see you there jud
