er is it legal to ride this being in Englandshire?

All but about 1 mile of which of course you go through the gate to Scotland and then back through the gate when it's legal. Yes that's what we do. ๐Ÿ˜†

Sorry toons unfortunately I cannot give you the location for that track (which is now even longer!) its not just the track thats secret but the hill/wood, hence why I did not post it on here with the others.

I was planning a ride for the summer right around the Cheviots. Maybe as training for the Kielder 100. Anyway I needed some help planning the northern end of the route. I have a route in mind from Wooler to the Border Ridge at Clennel Street but was not sure where I would go from there. I was thinking to drop down to Cocklawfoot then cut over to the College Valley and over to Wooler somehow but would appreichate any advice. (Email in Profile if required)

Geda a good route would be down the collage valley then follow St Cuthbert's way from Hethpool up onto the Gallops, or if you want to stay completly off road follow the border ridge from the head of the collage valley to join st cuthbert's way down to hethpool, i have done both of these options.

Oooh, I missed this a bit

I'd offer to show you round, but I'm away this weekend. But I can point you in the direction of a few locals for guidance if you'd like. email in profile.

I'm riding from the 'ham on Saturday. Foxy's looking to buy in Hexham so I'm going to show him around a little bit and get a ride in before the rugby. I'd be happy to show someone round then if it suits if you put them in touch with me.

The Dipton singletrack will be [b]very [/b]wet though. It won't be nearly as much fun as it should be and it'll cause a lot of damage. We're probably going to ride the 3 peaks route.
