Day 2 - 26 miles - 2748 ft elevation
Leaving Rowley we cycled to Parkhead then took the alternative route over Edmondbyers Common. The first part was so rough and narrow we had to turn back and cycle along the road for a few miles. Rejoining the off road track we had a very rough and steep descent into Rookhope for a lunch stop.
We then had our first really long steep climb and spin down into Allenheads. As we still had a few hours of daylight left we decided to press on to Nenthead over Black Hill - the highest point on the National Cycle Network.
