A perfect site, in a perfect position, with perfect site managers.
With the exception of 2020 (lockdown) I have visited every year since 2010, often twice such as in 2023.
There is nothing to add to my first sentence. And nothing I could say that I haven't said before.
I hope it may be more helpful if I focus on cycling from the site. (I'll cover running – or walking – in a later review following another visit next spring.)
I'll restrict myself to two road cycling routes I cycled during a recent four night stay. I've cycled both previously – they are worth repeating.
The first is 25 miles, all on road, the route for which can be found here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/26147143 . This isn't without climbs and parts are quite exposed to wind but the roads are quiet and there is noting too testing.
For a longer route (47 miles), with approx 1.2 miles offroad at mile 29, see: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/48238945 . This longer route has everything and is one of my favourites anywhere. The short offroad section can easily be avoided if wished - at a T-junction on a bend when entering Doddington (a little north of Wooler) the route turns right. Instead turn left. (The route as downloaded shows a left turn and then a turn around but ignore the turnaround.) This short lane leads to the B6525 where turn right towards Wooler. Taking the second on the left immediately returns to the garmin route. Allow plenty of time to enjoy this brilliant ride.
Just two suggestions which I hope someone may find helpful.
