Watchtree Wanderings

The roads we use are generally quiet and some are narrow. The route may depend on the prevailing wind as some of the roads are quite exposed

We will be cycling in the area around Watchtree with the option to ride round the Nature reserve on the traffic free tracks. There are good views all round of the Solway Plain, Scotland, the Pennines and the Lake District Hills.

We will be riding on quiet country roads with few hills. Road, touring or hybrid bikes and e bikes are most suitable though also possible on a mountain bike.

A roadworthy bike and well fitting helmet are a must. Clothing suitable for the weather, layers are best with waterproofs if needed. Also it is advisable to carry a spare inner tube which is appropriate for your bike in case of a puncture. We will finish the ride at Watchtree where there is a cafe for refreshments and food.

We always ride at the pace of the slowest rider, there will be plenty of opportunities to pause, chat, admire the views and take pictures! Nobody gets left behind
