Sticking to off-road routes where possible I had a very challenging first day of 45 miles & camped in a field overlooking Wolsingham. Day 2 I went to Durham to get some new brake pads then followed mostly old rail cycle tracks to Jarrow then rode Hadrian's cycle way most of the way home.

Thanks

Great pictures mate ,looks a epic trip 👌 right up my street that is

Great looking route.. Interested to see your set up combines bike packing gear and old school panniers.. Been getting back into cycle recently touring and realised bike packing is a thing...!
