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?

That was fantastic guys I was one of the ones at RTL that realised I was allergic to stone walls and really enjoyed the blast back from the coast to Penrith on the Saturday (after I got lost on the ride out) more than the narrow bumpier stone walled roads Next year can we do that road?

Help! The hartside vid has had me coming back probably 10 times in the last couple of days - it's fantastic (and addictive watching), especially with the nice bit of growl from the pipes.

Eventually, tonight, I decided to move on to the Middleton vid, and it's not there :-(

Could you repost?

Cheers,

i'd planned on doing that road Friday night Henry but everyone headed for the bar Loz and Ruth have done the bit up to Hartside/Alston with me

Michael, do you want me to strap all these bike mags to the back of the Multi and drop em off for you?
