| Its surprising how quiet it can be up there even at weekend if you turn up at the right time. Found myself a few times coming back from Kielder via Hexham to Alston-Middleton in teesdale- Kirkby Stephen-Sedburgh-Devils bridge late afternoon/early evening in the summer. The weekend warriors are all back home having their tea and the police have gone and the place is deserted. From Hexham to Devils you can ride hard for over an hour without really coming up against any traffic and only having to slow down briefly for the villages mentioned above. I remember at Raid the Lakes talking to some of the BHC boys who had a preference for that kind of road rather than the more nadgery stuff round the lakes, its a shame they couldnt have got up there to have a go. Maybe next year? |
