Road Notes:   

This is a road I have known about for many years and keep returning to. Busy in the high season, the run alongside the reservoir has long sweeping bends before things tighten up after Kielder Village. There is even a Kielder style wooded rally section before a narrow, but totally open section running alongside a stream. Attacked with second and third gears, it’s a mini rollercoaster of a road. Remember to keep a lookout for logging trucks, which frequent these roads.
