Cyclists at Rookhope

Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 5 Nov 2008

Rookhope lies on the C2C http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/aboutc2c.htm (coast to coast) cycleway (National Cycle Network route 7). The C2C is Britain's best known cycleway and is completed by tens of thousands of cyclists every year. At this point, cyclists have just enjoyed a long speedy descent of the Rookhope valley and are about to be confronted with the notorious Rookhope Incline, a long off-road push. The cyclists in view are Israelis on a fact-finding visit to help them plan a long-distance cycle route running the length of Israel. The weather in Israel is rather warmer!
