[QUOTE 3078182, member: 9609"]A tour of Northumberland Sandstone, sounds good to me, a combination of my former hobby with my current hobby.
Leave Berwick head up to Etal calling in at Berryhill Crag and start the day off with the crag classic "Border Ballad"
Then its back on the bike, through Ford and Lowick to "Kyloe Crag", a quick warm up on "Trinity" then along the crag for "Gargarins Groove" or for any hard men there is always "First Born"
Then its into the woods and some fast forestry riding to "Kyloe In" Superb all weather crag and your technical overhang abilities can be put to the test on "Jocks and Geordies", Then further along to the graceful "High Tea" (a very tempting name for any cyclists) and a beautiful and graceful route.
Now for some full off road riding calling in at Cuthbertson Cave before arriving at Back Bowden Doors, maybe an overnight bivvy under the giant overhang, then if anyone is feeling brave we have "The Tube"
Up the hill over the road to probably the finest of all the Northumberland Sandstone crags "Bowden Doors" could well be the best bouldering crag anywhere in Britain, take in the fine views of the Cheviots and feast yourself on classics like The Viper, Overhanging Crack, Lorraine, Posidon Adventure, The Trial and Maybe His Eminence.
Now its over the Moors to Eglingham and then Edlingham (spot the differance) here we call in at Corby Crag, take in the view whilst enjoying the classic "Audacity"
Back on the bikes and onto Coe Crags, where we encounter "The Buttress of Peculiar Perversions" @Fnaar
Then its over the hills through Rothbury and onto Simonside, a very different sandstone requiring a very different style, any visitors from the peak district will enjoys the Offwidths.
Onto Holystone and into the hills where in true cycling fashion we can ignore all the red flags and call into South Yardhope.
Tea and Cake in Elsdon, get our breath back as we enjoy the view from Winters Giibert then its back to business with a few problems at Rothley crags, then onto the final crag of the tour The Great Wanney, here we will meet lots of completely mad Geordies smoke lots of dope and do bollocks all in the way of any serious climbing.[/QUOTE]
How yee, get back over to your side..........
