As weather forecast is bad I'm changing to a shorter one – TANFIELD LOOP, only 28 miles and keeping closer to Peddling Squares, with more option for shelter as we pass Shepard and Shepherdess twice which is our rest stop. It's easy to return back to peddling sq with a downhill route. I've included some climbing to keep you warm. Full route details below

Route rating
(0) Reviews60 miler, mostly flat road with a cheeky climb early on, but lots of rewarding downhills after. Route planed to keep out of westerly wind that's forecast.
