THE SALTERS 70 

Nope, this isn't your usual gravel ride out sportive. Nu-uh, no way.

​

This is big country. It deserves more than just a jolly round the hills.

​

This is the land of Border Reivers, where glacial ground meets rock hard volcanic terrain and the only sounds are the winds of history and the enigmatic curlew. 

​

This is Northumbrian Gold. Respect it, experience it, fall in love with it.
