I'm sure it's not just me...
I had a great four hours on the bike today after re-searching on the Geograph website a couple of bridleways which looked to be a great addition to the riding we do towards the Stonehaugh area of Wark Forest ( Kielder Forest Park ) .
I love exploring something new ..even if its only for a small section to add into an existing ride ..and it's a bit of a buzz when they actually exist ( not overgrown ) .
These two sections did work out ..one towards the end I already knew would as I had walked it ..but not ridden it ..the other section was good in 2011 ..which was the last time there was a pic ..but a lot can happen in terms of things getting overgrown in 4years!
A 20 + mile ride just go check out 1mile ..but well worth it because it was rideable ...
A few pics starting with Felicia Crags ..an F.C stone quarry
Me, myself & I !
The start of the bridleway west of Felicia Crags going over Round Top , Wark Forest . Grid ref NY 715 778
This is good for about 1.5 km when it hits the road .
The drop from the road into Green Lee Clough initially looks excellent ..but I know this peters out after passing through the forest to the edge of the moor ( so didn't ride it )
It would also ride better the other way ...
More down ..and was surprisingly firm for the amount of rain we have had !
