Pit Ponies

Description

100km cycling event starting from Haughton, Darlington. Controls at Esh Winning and St Andrew's Church Hall, Haughton Village., plus 4 information controls.



Welcome to County Durham, birthplace of the railways. Loads of the former colliery lines have been converted to cycle routes, and this ride takes in the Deerness Valley line, the Castle Eden route, the Hart-Haswell line and part of the Stockton to Darlington railway, which was the world's first public railway. We also pass the NRM at Shildon, if you want to go trainspotting (or trainspotter-spotting).
