This ride is a treasure hunt in support of Watchtree Nature Reserve. Watchtree has released a list of landmarks which we have to ride to, to complete the Cycle the Solway Challenge. If you wish you can support the reserve by officially joining the challenge at https://watchtree.co.uk/events/solway-cycle-challenge/ but of course this is entirely up to you. It costs £15 and you will get a little medal to mark your achievement when you have completed the challenge. At each of the landmarks we will take photos to show we were there, you can also use a GPS track to evidence your accomplishment.
We start on a traffic free path and then move to quiet roads. The earlier start time ensures that we get parking spaces and that we get around the route whilst there is relatively little traffic out and about.
This is the third of three routes, and will help you to tick off the landmarks for the challenge. On this ride we will pass the following: Holme Cultram Abbey RAF Hudson Bomber Silloth Green BMX Track Big Fella Sculpture Eastcote Lighthouse St Matthew Church
As we return to Silloth I think its time for a return visit to the wonderful Fairydust emporium, so please bring a lock with you and some money. A table will be booked in advance for us. You should also wear a cycle helmet, and please dress appropriately for the weather. You should also bring a spare inner tube with you, just in case.
First-timers welcome!
