How to get there...
Traveling north
1. Leave the A69 at Acomb (near Hexham) follow the signs to Bellingham joining the B6320 to Chollerford. Traveling north via the village of Wark, drive into Bellingham village centre, turn right at Lloyds TSB Bank. The camp site is 100 metres on the right.

2. Leave the A69 at the Corbridge slip road, at this point you will join the A68. Travel north on the A68 for about 12 miles until for see a sign on your left which directs you to Redesmouth and Bellingham. Drive through Redesmouth and as you reach the outskirts of Bellingham you will pass the school. The campsite is 400 metres further on the left.

Traveling south
Leave the A68 at Otterburn turning right onto the B6320 road to Bellingham. Drive into the village centre turning left after Lloyds TSB Bank. The campsite is 100 metres on the right.

So Who coming....?

on the Sunday i have other routes in mind that most people will be able to cover on the way back home. namely hartside and surrounding area.

I have no objection to rustling up a few bacon and/or egg sarnies............as long as someone else does the washing up after. I hate washing up

Very tempted, but I think I'll stick to my original plan.

Your route seems more fun than the one I had in mind, so I'll probably nick it.

Give me a wave if you spot me.
