Sustrans 10

[Mr Carr]

I'm planning a 3 day tour next week to Kielder. Part of my planned route is to follow the Sustrans 10 route that goes from near Kershopefoot, following the border, to Kielder Water.

Is this route suitable for light touring? I'm riding a Ridgeback Panorama with panniers only

That bit is rather notorious, but you should be ok on a Panorama as long as you don't mind lots of bumps and jolts. I wouldn't have any hesitation on doing it on my Croix de Fer which is a fairly closely related bike!
