Help connect Hebburn

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Hebburn’s Slow Ways.

From the start point I felt that the route took an unnecessarily long way round to reach the cycle track above the Tyne. The route *mostly* follows Cycle Route 14 and the River Tyne Trail.
