New Year's trip to the Sea

From the Marina we will climb up part the Station and across the A19 to join the NCN1 South towards South Hetton where we will stop for photos with the coal mining legacy before turning back towards the sea via Dalton Park and the Road to somewhere before descending on cycle path back to the start in Seaham for much deserved hot drinks and food,

A chance to start the New Year with some sea air, great food and a dip in the North Sea (optional)

We will be cycling mainly on cyclepath with some short stretches of quiet road. I have suggested parking at the Marina, for those who are interested in a dip following the ride. Parking is also available in Seaham and at Nose's point.

This will be a circular route to blow any New Year cobwebs, and we will end with coffee and cake/chips on the sea front.

Helmets are always recommended, as are very warm gloves, layers, buffs and christmas socks. For those wishing to try a dip, towels, windproof robes and a wooly hat are also recommended (wetsuits if you have one and want to stay in a bit longer :)). Also please bring along a spare inner tube, tyre levers and a good pump.

We never leave anyone behind
