Forumite meet up and a state visit to 'Durham Dave'

Hi Peter. It's a pity you didn't drop down to Middleton in Teesdale and then do the 22 miles up the B6277 to Alston. If you catch this road when it's fairly quiet or empty it is just sublime :driving: Has to be one of the best 'fast' roads in the country :thumbsup:

Hi Simon..yes that's a good one..I've done it a few times..I was interested in the more off piste runs that Mike as a local was au fait with..

I think we plan to do a few more runs to flush put more interesting roads :driving: :thumbsup:
