I'll pop up a google map for a scenic route from Darlington, Wetherby or wherever from the A1 if you wish. Just let me know how long you will have.

From hear it's not quite as far as Mary Port. But the next day remember your embarking on a road trip with a group of unfamiliar riders.
And as you well know your need a good night's rest to be on your toes

Yeah, you're right....might be pushing it just a little....I've done 2 x 3 hr jaunts in one day before, either side of meetings in Birmingham, it was an exhausting and long day....

Let's see what others have to say on it...it may well be better finding somewhere to stop off before entering the north east, so heading up to Bellingham on day 2 could also include so nice scenic stuff too without being a hard slog....

Maybe we can pursuade some northern orgers to put some of us EAR members up the night before we head out to AR2014 the day before the main ride out? Beer would be the payment and sleeping bags on the floor would be the sleeping arrangements

I'd hack up there on the motorway and get it out the way with. Not as fun, but quicker and less tiring!

This year will see it being based from Bellingham, west of Newcastle and just south of the Scottish border...it's a long old trip to get there at about 300 miles from Norwich but should be do-able in 2 halves in a single day (maybe stop in Grimsby for fish and chips en-route?).

I think the ride out and general scenery will be well worth the effort, the campsite with £8 per person per bike camping looks good

So who's up for it? I've been given the thumbs up from the mrs...
if it doesn't clash with other things,and if i can get in the bunkhouse!,then count me in

Default AR2014 - Anyone thinking of heading up for it?

Would love to come, and camp! Especially due to having to miss last year very short notice with work commitments. But really need to know dates ASAP as the RAF like to ruin my summers well in advance

There are quite a few now that obviously need to know dates, I have already said I have no preference of dates right now on the main AR2104 thread and I hope the guys will come up with some soon (I think they're waiting on a response from the camp site to know what will work with then first)...shouldn't be too far off...the sooner we get a date to work with the sooner we can get some dates earmarked and cleared with bosses

It would make for a much simpler trip for sure, setting off early enough would give some good R&R time at the other end...I just haven't had any long days on the Rocket as yet so I am a littler cautious...maybe I am just over thinking it lol, as per usual

You're right. We are trying to confirm with the campsite, but think that they may be having a few days off. As soon as we know with complete certainty we will publish the dates.

The A1 / A69 route is not always the easiest or quickest due to peak time congestion in which case this route may be better, your choice. http://goo.gl/maps/aL8ho
