NCN route 1 Coasts and castles bikepacking trip

This was very steady 4x day trip from Newcastle to Berwick Upon Tweed, following the river Tyne to Tynemouth, then following the national cycle network (NCN) route 1 all the way to Berwick Upon Tweed. The total distance was a very relaxed 120 miles, including a couple of detours to find interesting stuff along the way. It is an absolutely stunning coastline and if you choose to ride it, I urge you not to rush either!

Hi Nick
Did the same route on 20th 21st June 23 the weather was fine till 22 miles into ride then the heavens opened and boy did it rain. I came off on a diagonal railway crossing smashing my insta 360x3 camera also hurting myself badly but peddled on to Bamburgh. Next day set off for Edinburgh made a few mistakes on route lost 2.5 hours up and down hills but eventually arrived in Berwick -upon-tweed around 1.50 took a photo on bridge then rode into Berwick then the heavens opened up again with over 5 hours left to Edinburgh we decided to bin it off and caught the train we kind of the trains was canceled so had to get back on a coach feel cheeted that the route was not completed.

Love it, done it north to home (Newcastle) with good friends, associates and solo, a treat every time. Next trip is a camping north trip Aberdeen to Edinburgh.
