Steve_M Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Planning permission has been approved to build a replacement. Hopefully this one will progress. I haven’t seen the proposal - their last effort was a somewhat Grand Designs style steel and glass edifice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Be glad to see it happen. Use the pass from time to time and the empty bomb site isn't conducive to stopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on one of my “I’m just popping out for a quick ride” loops from home. It’s about an hour in to the ride so somewhere for a quick break would be welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I use the pass if I'm not in a rush to get to either Morpeth or Barnard Castle or going the other way. The road from Alston to Hexham isn't bad either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Lots of nice roads out that way but it's bad with power rangers when it's busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the joys of being retired, I can choose my times to ride “off peak” as it were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another of my “out for a ride” loops uses that to avoid the military road between Greenhead and Chollerford on route to Kielder before heading back via Newcastleton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road from Bellingham up past Kielder and then over to Newcastleton and down Liddlesdale is quite good as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
