Sandstone Way opening - Northumberland's brilliant new cycle way: I will be cycling this with Ted this summer



The team who came along 2 weeks ago for the opening of the Sandstone Way have made the following video: http://www.sandstoneway.co.uk/listing/Sandstone-Way-Hexham-Launch-Ride

The Cycle Way is already transforming the local economies in Bellingham, Rothbury, Wooller and all places between Hexham and Berwick. In the summer I plan to cycle the route, time permitting with Ted, the original planner. Full credit to all the local groups who came together to make this happen, including the council, Northumberland national park, natural England and many others. A real team effort and further proof that Northumberland is the cycling capital of the UK. If I had to cite one group really supporting the Sandstone Way, amongst many, it would have to be the team at Cycle Pad: http://www.cyclepad.org.uk
