Day two of riding. West of Durham is up hill though the west Durham Colafields towards the North Pennines. Today it was about doing some climbing and the sun was out. I hadn’t expected uphill into a headwind, but that’s what I had.
From the higher elevations there are some good views to be had, this is looking north west above Langley Moor.
Lanchester nothing like Manchester, it’s a small, attractive village nestled in the hills. There’s a 1:5 ascent up Peth Bank to wake you up.
Burnhope. Pity Me. Killerby. There are some uplifting names for villages. Another 20 or so miles in the bag…
