Description
This is a replacement for Blanew one following the same route with a more accurate gpx plot. The route follows the banks of the River Tyne only leaving the river to skirt industrial units. You leave Newcastle Central Station and head down to the river past the Centre for Life and the Police Station. Once you reach the river you follow the route of the Hadrians Wall National Trail (Signed Hadrians Way with occasional acorns). When you get to Scotswood Bridge you cross over the river and then continue along the river using shared cycle path signed Keelmans Way. The last section takes you through an industrial estate where there were cars blocking the footpath and then a short section of footpath taking you to Blaydon Station. This route is almost all tarmac or paving and is accesible for wheelers with a minor detour just before Blaydon Station where there are steps over the railway track. This was a great route with cracking views along the river

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
