Coast & Castles Cycle Ride

I like to ride my bike (in this case my pedal cycle) and Natalie, my daughter, likes to ride hers, at some stage between us we decided to do another mega cycle ride and Adam, her life partner, thought it such a jolly wheeze he'd do it too.  About 15 years previously we'd ridden the Coast to Coast (C2C) and I can tell you the Pennines represent quite a physical barrier so how hilly could a Coastal Ride be?

My stitching function almost captures the magnitude of the Railway Viaduct

The start my driveway in South Shields, looking fit!

First group shot after 15 Miles on Hadrian's Cycleway on the Quayside at Newcastle where we got our Virgin Train to Berwick upon Tweed

This little lad managed to get his legs stuck between two metal seats!

Leaving Berwick with the fantastic Railway Viaduct in the background, good weather too

The first of many punctures, 0 for me, 1 for Natalie and about 9 for Adam!  Even put a patch on a patch.

Bamburgh Castle

Looking good after about 40 miles and a refreshing cup of tea with Frank, Kate and Mary at Beadnel

Alnwick Castle (made famous as a set for a Harry Potter movie.
