Down the Tyne, left at Swan Hunters, back up the Coast road.

entering a subway in Gateshead.

Stainthes on your left, Scotswood on the right.

The Tyne's bridges.

Cycle path just past St Peters Basin.

Just before Swan Hunters...the view is the southside of the Tyne.

Back into town.

A swift 13 miles. Just out to feel good in myself. plenty birdsong. smelt a fire somewhere on the path. said hello to a few walkers. only saw two other cyclists.

The first time I used that path was coming home from the pub (Tyne Bar, Cluny, Cumberland... Can't really remember where we ended the night).

There are some tricky junctions and obstacles if you don't have your wits about you!
