Breeze for Women and Power at Gibside

Starting from Lydgett Junction on the C2C route just to the west of Consett we will cycle along the NCN 14 to Gibside to view the exhibition in the Chapel. After lunch we will return via bridleway and quiet road to Consett to join the NCN 7 back to Lydgett Junction.

The next ride in our series of Suffragette adventures takes us from Lydgett Junction on the C2C route along NCN 14 to Gibside to view the Women and Power exhibition https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/gibside/features/celebrating-women-and-power. This will be so empowering that we will need to eat cake afterwards before setting off back to Consett via quiet roads and bridleways, joining the NCN 7 to return to the starting junction.

This route is mainly on cycle paths, although we will be joining some quiet roads as part of the return route from Gibside to Consett.

We will sample the wares of the café at Gibside, please ensure you bring along some money for refreshments.

As usual, please ensure you dress for weather, good gloves, buffs and several layers are always good in the Autumn. We will be wearing helmets and encourage you to do the same, it would also be great if you carried an innertube suitable for your bike. We are great at fixing minor mechanicals, but don't always have the right size of tube!

We never leave anyone behind
