Eggleston CR & Mickleton CR County Durham

[Borders2]

We are hiring to overnight on these spots later next year. Does anyone know if there are height barriers, please?

Thanks

Hi, I can't see a CR at Mickleton (using the Location App). Are you using an old version of the database?

Can't find the specific ones. I live on the North Yorkshire edge of Teesdale though and I don't remember seeing any height barriers anywhere.

Not updated for a while I must admit. I'll make that the job for today and then post again, but there are definitely CR's at the two locations I stated.

Not any more! Eggleston shows an OR adjacent to the road with a CR apparently down a grassy slope (presumably imprecise coordinates and the POI has been duplicated). No POI at Mickleton in the Location App, so presumably no longer available.

This is a cracking spot at the end of Grassholme reservoir not far from Mickleton. I think you are supposed to pay a tenner for it. Not sure how. If you are in a large van though probably best not to approach from the south as the steep but short single track bit over the little bridge is pretty tight. Come from the north (middleton in Teesdale end)

One of my favourite ride outs on the bike up there.



There is also Selset reservoir just round the corner (also a tenner). Much easier to access.
