This is a splendid show race run from Thropton in the Coquet valley, nr Rothbury Northumberland. BM its in the calender, same day as three shires. Nice race flattish start, river crossing then steady intial climb passing an iron age hill fort, steep climb to top of the simonside hills then a fast descent back to the show field by a slightly different route. great fun with a good beer tent. details on the NFR website
