From the bottom, we will climb up Charlaw Bank, enjoy the views from the top, cycle through Annfield Plain to Stanley where we will stop for lunch at the Lakeside Tea rooms at Harperly Farm. After lunch we will head west to join the c2c route through Consett, before heading south again on the Lanchester Valley Railway line (off road) and then back to the start.
Limited parking is available at the bottom of Charlaw Bank.

A chance to visit the Lakeside Tea Rooms at Harperley and enjoy the views from the top of hills :)

Half on road, returning on the Lanchester Valley Railway lines

We will stop for refreshment at the Lakeside Tea Rooms

Helmets are always advisable, as is clothing suitable for the weather. Good gloves, buffs and waterproofs will be useful. We also ask you to bring along an inner tube that fits your wheel, tyre levers and a pump.

We especially welcome newbies!
