Riding this section in January 2025 ina cold weather spell, meant the double track was covered in ice. There are some deeper puddle areas and it is awkward to ride to the side of them. I had to ride through them, it was a mixture of ice and water as the temperature was on zero. Be careful. In warmer weather this track will be easier to ride on, offering decent views and seeing a few oncoming trains passing by on the main east coast line.

The views here are very nice. Looking north from an elevated height, you can see the contour of the land and the incoming waves. There are several bays what would be nice to rest at in summer months

This area is passing through the road in the middle of Goswick Golf Club. Quite popular, there were loads of women sitting in what appears to be a restaurant or bar in the club. Tarmac main through road makes it easy to ride though. The lead up to the gold course, for about two miles is open land where the wind can sweep though. There are not many trees for shelter and coverage

This section, if wet, ideally needs a MTB, there had been a storm the previous two days, loads of rain. I was able to ride through but it was a bit soggy and the bike was wheel spinning. It is possible to ride on the grass verge area and get through. When dry it will be good to ride on, when wet it does take far more energy and exertion
