Cycle Path Maps

Yesterday I decided to cycle from the Ouseburn to Station Road, North of Wallsend, rather than taking the car.

So I thought to check the net for local cycle maps and the resulting route I took was very peaceful and thankfully quite flat.

Cycling is much more sociable than driving, I bumped into some friends along the way, i must buy a bell.

"The wind was in my face the whole way there -I hope it has changed direction before I go back!"

Here are those lovely cycling links, courtesy of the Local Transport Plan website, the images are large and should really be in PDFs for ease of downloading & printing as it is not very easy to read the street names off the screen.
