The Kielder Calling is a new ‘northern bikefest’ and takes place at Kielder Forest on 14 August.

The event comprises a 3, 6 and 12 hour enduro available to ride as a team or solo. The course will use some of the purpose built trails in the forest as well as other less well known trails.

Alongside the main event will be the chance to test some of the newest bikes out this year with the demo bikes area, including a special demo loop for testing the bikes on. There’ll also be a kid’s demo area, alongside an expo village and a food hub.
