A mainly gravel loop along the old Railway Lines of Co Durham

 

Another local ride mainly using Co Durham's old railway lines. I did not have much time so it was a short loop taking the line from Bearpark to Broompark then up to Stanley Crook and down to Crook. It was then the road from Crook up and down to the Coop at Willington then back along the line to Broompark then Bearpark. The weather was playing ball with the sun out for most of the ride and it was dry. The only downside was the wind, but I was sheltered in the wooded sections along the lines. For some reason there seemed to be a few large groups of people out and about, then I had longer quiet sections where I never seen a sole. All in 23.5 miles with 1300ft of climbing. Below are a few snaps from the spin, enjoy and hopefully more soon.
