    Great video. Thanks for sharing. We often do a loop from the coast via Wylam, but never venture further on. Bit of inspiration for this year 😁

    "... We'll have that", regarding the old road to connect cycle paths. Here in the U.S. most towns and homeowners fight against bicycle paths. Nice to see those trails, paths, and cycle ways, thanks for video!

    Liked It very much Gareth. England/UK is beautiful. Would like to go cycling over there after seeing this. All though the gravel roads and bridle ways look tough, certainly for a flat land Dutch guy like me. Thanks Gareth!👍💪🏻

    Hi Eric. There are many miles of old railway lines around the Northeast of England that are mostly flat and can be cycled on a touring bike with sturdy tyres.
