Any PHers got some good recommendations as I am in the area for a long weekend in September, looking to bond with my recently acquired Challenge Stradale? Thanks, CMD
Barnard Castle - Middleton in Teesdale- Alston is one hell of a road. Returned from Scotland on it yesterday afternoon(ie Bank Hol ) deserted. One of finest stretches of road in England I think (if a pale comparison to what I had returned from in the Highlands) . Mind the sheep.
+1 - up and over alston is ace. You could then go round kielder, back over to Otterburn / rothbury, and then track back towards Durham over the tops again.
