Ford and Stepping Stones to Stanhope

Highlight • Trail

Short cut to Stanhope, for walkers and (mad) cyclists, ford is smooth and easy to cross, if its not to deep. You may get wet feet with splashes. I did it on hot day in May, at end of ride, so it didn't mater. Also it was my girlfriends idea so she went first.

Junction at Stanhope

Highlight • Rest Area

After descent down to this junction, can turn left into Stanhope or turn right along the A road for a long flattish ride through small villages to the climb out at Wearhead (the A road gets quieter in this direction).
