Driving into Corbridge, the first thing I notice is a tandem bike resting up against a wall.
Not a common sight in January no matter how few clouds are in the sky, but the village is on the Hadrian's Wall cycleway.
And it's expected that in 2022 several people will be using that cycleway to make their way to the Tyne Valley village, as well as by road and along one of the most scenic railways in the North East.
