Cycling the South Tynedale Trail NCN 68

I had another trip out on the train to Haltwhistle , this time I cycled from the station onto NCN 68 following the south tynedale trail to Lambley viaduct, then I picked up the old track bed to Hallbankgate. After a coffee stop in Hallbankgate I took the long way home through villages and hamlets of Cumbria.
I had a strange encounter on Lambley viaduct , which I only noticed whilst editing it at home. When I was looking over the viaduct and saying “it’s a long way down” a voice can be heard saying “Yes” and it want me !
And I was alone on the viaduct !!! So I have no idea ?

Wow, what beautiful countryside and bike paths!

[@davesolobiker5601]

thanks it’s a lovely part of the country atb Dave 🚲👍

Beautiful country, beautiful video. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. One request for your videos; please try to equalize the sound volume between when you speak and when you just have music. The music is much louder (too loud) and I have to keep turning the volume up and down while watching. You made Wonderful music choices for the video too!

[@davesolobiker5601]

Thanks for watching , I’m always conscious of getting the audio correct but sometimes when I playback when editing it always sounds quieter. Point taking I will drop the audio a few decibels on my next one . Atb Dave ⛺️🚲👍

[@SwampyDuckRidesAgain3636]

That looked a lovely wee route. Mind you that bridge did look a bit dodgy.

[@davesolobiker5601]

Another belter Dave, good idea the train out and plotting the way back. Noticed the old railway alongside the road up Alston way and wondered what it would be like 👍

[@davesolobiker5601]

Thanks 👍 yeah it opens up lots of opportunities using the train. I’m hoping to do a trip right through to Alston and back via hartside in the summer.

[@sjwhitey4356]

[@davesolobiker5601]

Thanks hoping to return in the summer and follow it towards Alston with a camp thrown in ⛺️🚲

[@marksadventures3889]

@@davesolobiker5601 yeah what I do now is check places out on day trips and expand out from there. Make notes take pictures, write down cords to find it next time. I may even use maps I cut up placing them in map wallets for the day.

Ghost voice, wow spooky, reload the vid and stick it in the title, good clickbait.
Great vid, I have the bike out of the shed, procrastinating whether to go out today on it, might go ghostbusting😂

[@davesolobiker5601]

I have made a separate little vid on it , might upload here . Today’s forecast looks the best day as forecast looks pants again. Make the most and get out on it Marra 🚲👍

[@mortyoutdoors7109]

Beautiful scenery on that ride mate, loads of cracking cycle tracks….and bumped into Casper on the 1st viaduct! Wtf!👻😵‍💫

[@davesolobiker5601]

Yes good ol 👻 , it’s not a bad route just a pity the weather was overcast at the start 😂

[@chargingabout]

Great to see some my my local tracks linked up with new ideas. Once it's less sloppy I will get out there myself. You certainly took the long way a few times too!
