Downhill Day to Corbridge

We've arrived in Corbridge after visiting Vindolanda, a Roman Settlement, and stopping in at a Roman fort a short distance from the end of the day's ride. This was a drizzly day where the roadway under a tree would be still dry but one wouldn't want to stand around in the breeze for too long.

There were a few steep climbs today but the majority of the ride was either level, a slight upward grade or a screaming downhill run.  Some of these were in very rutted roads so the full advantage of gravity had to be tempered by cautious braking.


This marks the 69th mile of the 100 mile journey.  Tomorrow we finish below the Priory in Newcastle.
