I am heading off down to Haggerston Castle at the weekend with the family.
I tend to rise a couple of hours before the rest of them so fancy trying to find tracks nearby where I can cycle out for 20 miles or so. Anyone know of anywhere?
Cheers,

Re: Routes around Haggerston Castle
Are you talking Haggerston in Northumberland? If so then I'm afraid you might struggle to put off road routes together on your doorstep. However here's a few ideas.
Cycle onto Holy Island.
Holy Island to Berwick along the coast.
St Cuthberts Cave well worth a visit.
Wooler Common to Broadstruther and back along Harthope Valley.
South of Chillingham is Old Bewick, the moor to the east, not a big area but very atmospheric and in the Northumberland MTB guide, a wee cracker.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for the input Ray.
Holy Island looks like a good option - I will check out at the others too.

If you can get to the moor by Old Bewick then I highly recommend it. I did all the rides in Derek Purdy's Northumberland MTB guide and left this till last because it didn't look that good, how wrong I was, the area really is a little gem.
