Re: AR14 Convoy East Cost

Re: AR14 Convoy East Cost
It would be a long bloody day though...not arriving at base until after 6....I'm game if you are though to do the scenic twisty route, it would be a good adventure
Andrew, you mentioned getting stuck at Helmsley, will it be that bad? Looks like a gorgeous bit of road to miss if diverted from....is it this I need to be worried about: http://www.helmsleyarts.co.uk/shows+on/20-06-2014 really, does it attract that many people?

Re: AR14 Convoy East Cost
No its the Farmyard Rally http://www.farmyardparty.com/farmyard-party/directions
It will be about the same time. The route would be: - A1/ A66 services - Barnard Castle - Stanhope - Allendale - Hexham - Campsite

Re: AR14 Convoy East Cost
as an example! from Southend-on-Sea it should only take you 8-10hrs including lots and lots of stops. if your taking MW for 1/2 of it then you can knock a good 2hrs of that.
personally MW's do my nut in and i find them more tiring than the scenic route. |

Re: AR14 Convoy East Cost
Fancy joining the back road bimble?
More concerned with the bit in between...but think I've figured out something where we can't go wrong, edited above
