Coast to Coast ~ Day 1 ~ South Shields to Rowley

Day 1 - 32 miles - 1639 ft elevation

We cycled 32 miles from South Shields coast, through Jarrow and Gateshead to Rowley.

After navigating the town centre of South Shields we passed the Millenium Bridge and continued out of the town.

We joined the Derwent walk which took us climbing out towards Consett. Leaving Consett on the Waskerly Way we made our way a couple of miles to Rowley over the Hownsgill Viaduct.
