The Naughty Frontier

Northumberland National Park Clennel Farm

It’s Naughty, but not as you know it. After the success of the Naughty Northumbrian Enduro, it seemed only fitting to pay homage to the remote, beautiful and rugged terrain of the North by launching our new event, The Naughty Frontier. Taking in 40 “Northumbrian miles” this challenging route will reward a spirit of adventure with stunning views, breath taking summits and of course, the option of a cool Wylam Brewery pint when you make it back to base. Taking you up to the England - Scotland border, and through the heart of the Northumbrian National Park, this event is open to all and everyone of a reasonable fitness - In a true “run what ya brung” ethos, all bikes are welcome though it’s best suited to Gravel and XC bikes. Long climbs will be followed by fast, grin-inducing descents […]
