1. You connect to the c2c route at Fatfield in Washington and follow to Roker. Cycle path towards South Shields then ferry over to North Shields. I think the ferries are quite regular but there is a pub nearby if you fancy refreshments. Back on the c2c along the Tyne towards Newcastle. Then come through Gateshead, main roads mainly but there are plenty of side streets which help zig zag you through any big hills. A pleasant cycle way, but on a windy day you feel the wind cycling to South Shields. |
