Hi,

I will be cycling from Newcastle to London on Saturday 6th - Sunday 7th October, to raise money for charity. I have made a provisional route but would greatly appreciate feedback from people local to the route, as I have never cycled north of London before! Please let me know if you think that a road I have chosen is unsuitable for cyclists due to traffic/hill/width etc.

Here is our route;

It is just myself and my boyfriend completing this 300+ mile journey and we would love some company along the way, so if the route does come near you please get in contact with us to find out what time we are due to pass your home turf!!

You can find out more about our cycle and why we are doing it at

We are very much beginners, so any advice about training/food/navigation/kit you may have that will help us would be fab too!!

Many thanks,

Chanelle

    Crikey! Good luck with that.
    You've chosen to circumnavigate Darlington using a dangerous stretch of the A66. Better to take Croft Road through Hurworth.
