Description

A clockwise loop through Northumberland, Cumbria and the Borders. Generally quiet roads for all the route and stunning scenery
An ideal first 300 with lots of options for cafe/shop stops. No long steep climbs, the only big climb is between Newcastleton to Hawick and that's not steep, it is very scenic so you may not really notice. Long Downhills to compensate and plenty of options to stop if needed.
Event is currently planned as a roadside start with finish in the Village Hall from early evening. This means that for later finishers there will be somewhere warm to get a drink and something to eat.
