Trail Reviews
Difficult surfaces in this trail. I felt heavy legged from the start. Sticky mud tracks slowing the bike down and mud flying off the wheels, waterlogged double tracks. Wet socks, broken phone holder bracket. Typical MTB trail. Northumberland is not like places such as The Cairngorns, where many tracks have been laid with easy to ride on surfaces. I find many UK locations easier to ride on after being used to natural farmland surfaces that tend to be a slogging. Everywhere is unique though.
