This challenge will involve two days in the saddle.

The day will wrap up in the town of Berwick upon Tweed, just a stone’s throw from the Scottish border.

Day two adds a further 70 miles of riding on mostly country lanes and coastal roads, entering the Tweed valley, climbing Priestlaw Hill and crossing over to Midlothian, before the triumphant arrival at Edinburgh Castle.

The package includes accommodation with meals, vehicle and ride support, luggage transfer, route guidance and a return transfer to Tynemouth, which has been kindly sponsored by Stanley Travel.
