The Reivers Route

[Sam Kennedy]

Has anyone here cycled the entire Reivers Cycling Route?

What type of bike did you use?

Where do you go once you get to Ponteland?

How long did it take you?

I've only cycled a short 10 mile section of it, from Burradon/Weetslade to Ponteland.

Be careful if you are going up the A696, I've heard lots of stories of accidents up there (I know some people who live just outside of Otterburn).

If you want to get to Otterburn you are probably best finding another way rather than the A696/A68.

No, never done it, but this web site looks useful...

 

[Sam Kennedy]

nah I've looked at that website, there is nothing helpful on it, if there is a detailed map somewhere on that site it isn't anywhere obvious

I also found some maps on bikely, but the route doesn't match up to any roads or cycle paths.

try north tyneside councils website mate they have links to maps on there not the rievers one but got maps for north tynside,newcastle and south tyneside on there showing u bike routes just looked at newcastle one and it takes u up to ponteland and a bit beyond it might help.
