Before my 71st I have a fancy to ride from Edinburgh to Carlisle in one day, I want to use the Carter Bar road in to England. I see there is a forest drive over to Kielder and a connecting "Cross Border" ride to Newcastleton. This route would save me a ride down to Hexham on a motor bike plagued road. Can any one advice me whether or not these two trails are suitable for a touring bike with marathon + tires. I will be travelling light. I have walked in Kielder forest but have only rode round the reservoir trail,
