I hit 50+ a few times, max speed was 60.8.
Not to get into this again but you probably weren't pedalling, right? Just hanging on for dear life at that point
Edit: probably the flat bits near the Water are pretty fast at a guess?

After doing a bit of riding round there have to say this sounds amazing. Recommended?

Definitely recommended. Not sure about packing all those riders on to what are pretty narrow forest tracks at some points but the riding is undoubtedly superb. Road riding looks pretty good too.

Round near Kielder Water was more windy & up/down - really fun flowy stuff, but not fast. There were some cracking long downhill straightish bits though which allowed you to pick up lots of speed.
I did it this year, absolutely loved it (wearing my Dirty Reiver T-shirt now actually) - highly recommend!

i don't ride gravel often but just looked at my strava ride for the dirty reiver earlier this year and I hit 50+ a few times, max speed was 60.8.
I don't consider myself a particulary skilled descender on gravel so wouldn't be surprised to learn that more experienced riders were regularly exceeding this too.
