Gentle evening ride along the historic waggonways in North Tyneside. The route is mainly traffic free along cycle paths although there may be walkers, dogs, horses and runners along the route. We will stop at a pub near the finish for a drink and a chat. Relaxed easy pace - we chat as much as we cycle!

Mainly off road along former waggonways using local cycle paths. There are a couple of short spells along quiet roads.. Please note that some of the surfaces used on this route are not suitable for road bikes or hybrid bikes with thin tyres.

We often stop for an impromptu photo or water break and to catch our breath. and plan a stop towards the end of the ride for a drink at a pub.

Please wear helmets and suitable clothing for the weather. Please bring money if you want a drink.

First-timers welcome!
