Cornwall is great just go to the other places not just the ones mentioned in al the blurb.
 
As our main holiday to St Lucia isn't until the end of November so the highlight of my summer is probably going to be Z-Fest!

Also got the BMW show in early July to look forward to. I'm going to enter the Z into the 'show and shine' comp this year.

we've also got a long weekend away at a cottage in The North East for our anniversary in Aug. Plan to take the scenic route and see what driving roads I can find enroute. :driving:

Don't feel bad, we did I think it was 45 miles in our MG Midget last year, which is why we bought the Z4, a couple of weeks ago, its already done 500 miles :roll:

Jumping on the ferry and taking the Z down the west coast of France. Will be the first time driving on the continent so should be fun

Mmmm Consett, not exactly the prettiest of places in the North East, its an ex Steel Making town, huge in its time.

The direct route is via the A1 but I would avoid that.

If you are looking for an indirect route Maybe head towards Harrogate into Ripon, then Leyburn and Reeth, up to Keld (one of my all time favorite places beautiful at the right time of day) across to Kirkby Stephen, up tp Brough and across country to Middleton in Teasdale Via B6276, back up to Langdon Beck across to Daddry Shield back down to Wolsingham onto Tow Law then up the A68 off at the A682 to Consett.

A winding route but a nice drive and it will show you the varying countryside of the NE.

You are not far from Blanchland if you are staying in Consett, one of our favourite places to eat is a really old pub there called the Lord Crew Arms
http://www.lordcrewearmsblanchland.co.uk/

You will need to book early if you want to eat there maybe even before you go away it fills up very quickly.

The drive up I've given you will take a while but if you get a nice day it will be worth it.

I mean to say go up to Northumberland do the Castle driving route. http://www.coast-and-castles.co.uk/plan-your-trip/the-route/
Start at Lynemouth not Newcastle.

Cheers
