What is Suscram?
Suscram is a Cycling group based in Cramlington Learning Village. We are taking part in a Year seven, eight and nine Project Fortnight. We picked cycling because we want to keep fit, have good fun and enjoy the countryside.
Over the past 4 years we have been encouraging people to get out on their bikes and explore the countryside and Waggonways around Cramlington.
We cycle around the North East to pick out the best routes for different kinds of people. We have produced these routes and place them on this website. There will be mountain bike routes which more experienced riders can use, and routes for less experienced riders, and we also have a lot of routes for families to travel on.

We have been working with Richard Rothwell from Sustrans over the past 3 years to promote cycling in Cramlington Learning Village and this project is part of that. During the year we run bike club so that people can have the chance to improve their skills on their bike and learn mechanics and bike maintenance. We also help with the Big Pedal which is Sustrans' initiative to encourage students to cycle to school. This year we were the top school in the North East.
Hadrians wall has a long history behind it. it was made by the roman emperor Hadrian with the help of his roman soldiers in 122 A.D. After the Romans invaded southern Britain, they had to defend it. They built roads, so that soldiers could march quickly to deal with any threats coming their way. They also built three very large army forts, and lots of smaller camps, for soldiers to live in. At first these forts were built of wood, later they were built of stone. Route 72 is the route the class will be taking when they're riding to Bardon Mill . Along this route for most of the way you will be able to see the wall itself.
