Starting from the hub, head out of Newcastle along Low Fell, passed the Angel of the North, down into Birtley and join the Cycle track at the Wheatsheaf.
Head up the cycle track, gradual incline for around 5 miles towards Stanley and then onto Consett. Stop for lunch/coffee at a lush cafe with gorgeous views and then back to Newcastle via the Derwent Walk and south side of the Tyne
