There is also an off road path from Jarrow to birtley which continues with a long climb to tanfield There is quite a lot of off-road paths and tracks around Tyne and wear Depending on where you live |

Contact the Local Authority for the area you want to ride in via their websites and they'll send you one free. Also I've noticed some smaller independent bike shops have a small supply of these to give out. Good luck, enjoy the views, exercise and achievement! |
