Debatable Lands

Description

200km cycling event starting from Morrisons Supermarket, Hawick TD9 9NQ. Controls at Newcastleton, Chollerford, Waterside, Kielder, Jedburgh and Hawick.

A circular route mainly on quiet country roads through the moorland and forests of the southern uplands and North Northumberland with sections alongside Handrian's Wall, and Kielder Forest and Water.

This event can count towards the Scottish Borders Randonneurs’s Super Rouleur Series. The ride snakes south through rolling Border countryside and over the border into north Northumberland to pick up the Roman road at Greenhead. Travelling west to east, following Hadrian's Wall with several small climbs, we would hope to have the wind on our backs taking us onwards to Chollerford where there is an excellent cafe stop. The route then heads back towards the Scottish Borders passing through the forested hills of the Northumberland National Park and along the side of Kielder reservoir. With a checkpoint at Waterside there is a chance to refuel and then onward through Jedburgh for the last control before heading back to Hawick. With plenty of opportunities for other stops on route this has the making of a pleasant midsummer day out in the beautiful border countryside between Scotland and England.

The event is still being run as a basic event. The start is in Morrison's car park with the store open from 8.00am where you can buy refreshments and use their toilet facilities.
