Once upon a Tyne is close to many national cycle routes making
us the perfect choice for your group bookings. We make mountain biking
fun by choosing the best off-road or country road routes and adding a
downhill direction where possible! We have different routes and grades
to suit your group:-
Option 1 - Downhill all the way! -
A fast downhill route from Ebchester to either Newcastle’s famous
Quayside or back to South Shields on the final stage of the Sea to Sea
national cycleway. A great way to blow away a hangover!
Stop for lunch on Newcastle’s Quayside then cycle on to South Shields or
take the easy option and hitch a ride back to South Shields with us.
Option 2 – The Northumberland Coast. The best of the National Coast and Castles Cycle Route 1 from Creswell
via the rolling dunes of Druridge Bay to Lower Newton By the Sea – a
beautiful inlet with a National Trust pub on the beach! This is a
spectacular trail, but more challenging then our “Downhill all the Way”
- we can’t promise it is all downhill!
Stop for lunch in the popular coastal town of Amble mid-way through your
journey.
Option 3 – The BIG CLIMB!
Cycle from Langwatheby to Allenheads. This is by far the most
challenging and rewarding section of the Sea to Sea route over the
Pennines, including the infamous Hartside Pass. This is a ride you will
never forget!
Stop at the scenic Hartside Café at the top of ride for refreshments.
Option 4 – Mountain Biking.
We can transport you to and from some excellent and popular woodland or
forest trails in the area - 1/2 and full day packages available.
