Dirty Reiver 2025

Out in Kielder today for the Dirty Reiver 2025. One of the largest (if not THE largest) gravel events in the UK. I’ll be out taking photographs at a couple of different spots over the course of the day. The image below was taken at the start of last year’s event. It was pretty cold that morning.

Event photos from 2025 will be uploaded here –

It will take a day or two to process, upload and tag the full set.
