Border Patrol - Newcastle Tunnels Run 6th November 2010

Border Patrol

Starting Brockbushes Farm ShopNE43 7UB
Corbridge, United Kingdom


10.30am departure from Brockbushes which has a nice farm shop, which is off the A69/A68 roundabout.

There will be 7 tunnels of which most we will drive through in each direction this includes the tyne tunnel which has a £1.20 toll for each trip through it, but i believe it is worth the £2.40 for going through in each direction, there will be many more bridges to drive under and cross the river Tyne 7 times.

Plan to visit the sundial pub at South Shields for lunch which offers some meals 2 for £8. it also has a 12" sausage on a couple of the meals to try.

We will then go to St Mary's lighthouse at Whitley Bay ( depending on tides ) walk over to the light house.

We will then finish the run at the Wagon team pub which is right next to the A1 for a quick getaway:dunno:

I hope the weather improves!

Doesn't look promising. On the upside, it'll be dry in the tunnels.

I wont be going, a little too far to drive on my own, makes it too long a day I am sure you guys will have a great time though and lots of vids through those tunnels

Grrr looks like I am going to have to miss out on this one too. Its crap being busy.
