Durham to Rainton Meadows Summer Breeze

Sunday 16 August 2015 10am 20 miles Durham to Rainton Meadows Summer Breeze Starting outside Clayport Library in Millennium Place DH1 1WA we’ll pedal our way to Durham Wildlife Trust’s Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve where we can enjoy refreshments at the new and improved The Meadows coffee shop who are keen to welcome us. Most of the ride is off road, following Durham Riverbanks to Maiden Castle, passing through Old Durham and along Rennys Lane and the Hetton railway path. There’s some short on-road sections at Gilesgate Tesco and between Sherburn and Pittington and a couple of hills in each direction but overall this is not too hilly by Durham standards. We’ll be retracing our route on the way back. Children are welcome but recommended for age 10+ due to the on-road sections. Helmets are compulsory for under 16s. The off-road sections are a decent surface so the ride will be most suitable for hybrid bikes. Think carefully about what clothes to wear and bring extra clothes in case the weather is unpredictable.
