A Biscuit and a Brew at the Breeze Cafe, Blyth

We'll take mostly waggonways down to Tynemouth, and ride up the coast through Cullercoats, Whitley Bay, Seaton Sluice to Blyth. There we'll visit the Breeze cafe in the Mermaid car park for a cuppa and a scone. We'll return to Gosforth through Seaton Delaval and Seghill and then south to re-join the waggonways between Backworth and Camperdown and continue to Gosforth Nature Reserve.

We have the option (it's only an extra 1.5 miles) of visiting the Shroud and the Big Spoon on the way back.

There are plenty of alternatives if the weather isn't too good.

There aren't any pick-up points for this ride, so can we all meet at Asda please.

Although most of the ride is on wagonways and cycle/shared paths, there will be some stretches of road. Remember that it's winter/spring/summer/autumn and there will be rain and snow and hail and mud and dust and sand and ice and sunshine! And gales! Please dress appropriately.

Please be prepared to fix any mechanical issues you may have, and especially punctures (a spare inner tube is *much* better than a repair kit). That said, there will be plenty of help if you do have issues, but don't assume anyone has the knowledge/ability/tools to fix an ebike.
