I am hoping that Davshill will be up for this. I am facinated by the railway arches and thought it would be a good ride out.

All depends on the weather, but sounds an interesting destination.

I would be willing if it's on a Sunday and not snowing, if it comes to anything let me know.

Oh yesh, good route, keep me posted as it's not far away

...bit of an extra stretch but Kirkby Stephen to Kirkby Lonsdale was a good road

For a few of us, Durham would be a good place to meet up to start from or Darlington if that would be better for the east coast bikes.

Works out at about 100 miles from Newcastle for me.

We should do a Durham weekend again one of these days - my clothes have almost dried out from the last one.

Maybe not this year as we have so many other weekends on the cards but at some point one "up norf" would be good (unless you live in the land of porridge and it's still "doon sooth").
