Beat your parents up one of the cheeky Skedaddle climbs
Utilising the National Cycle Network, with that extra Skedaddle ingredient, we cycle along the boundary of the Old Roman Empire, starting and finishing at either end of Hadrian’s Wall. During the cycling you'll follow in the footsteps of Roman soldiers, whilst experiencing some of the rich heritage that Cumbria and Northumberland have to offer. This wonderful cycling holiday passes through open hill country, peaceful river valleys and finishes at the North Sea at Tynemouth.
After arriving into Newcastle you spend the first night in this vibrant city before we transfer you to Bowness-on-Solway and the start of your ride which ends 100 miles later in Tynemouth where we will meet you and transfer you back to Newcastle for your onward journey home.
There's lots to see along the way for both adults and children and the sense of achievement at completing a coast to coast cycling journey as a family is for many the real highlight.
Holiday Highlights:
Cycling next to Hadrian’s Wall near Birdoswald
Seeing a live archaeological dig at Vindolanda
Corbridge and sinking a well-deserved pint of local ale – It’s not all about the kids you know!!
Seeing who’ll be the first to spot the ‘Blinking Eye’ bridge in Newcastle
Ice cream in Tynemouth and the sense of achievement having ridden from coast to coast as a family
