We’re off for a family holiday next week, staying in a cottage in Ellingham near Seahouses.
Can anyone recommend some fun nearby riding?
Cheers, Dave.
what type of riding you after? Thrunton woods is about 1/2 hr away for natural rock and root trail riding . There’s also the Cheviots for some big xc days out if that’s your bag.
Or for a more gentle day just look at the OS map and join up some bridleways and the NCN routes. There are plenty of quiet roads around there.
Thanks all.
Thrunton Woods sounds ideal for some natural technical fun riding? Are the trails easy to find?
The girls aren’t taking bikes, so just looking for fun stuff that I can squeeze in whenever I get a chance.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Dave.
Sillyoldman - are the trails easy to find? in short no. That said where there’s a will there’s a way. I’ll pm you a few pointers, also message the thrunton trail builders on the FB page , there is usually someone up there most weekends if not sometimes through the week. They are a pretty sound bunch and happy to show round. What week are you in Northumberland? If I’m around I’d happily show you a few trails.
Bigwill - great thanks.
I’m not on FB, but ta.
We’re heading there on Friday afternoon, and will be there until the following Friday. If you’re free to meet up sometime that would be great!
Cheers, Dave.
