I'm thinking of taking a relatively short-notice ride out to either Wark or Greenhaugh from the Newcastle area next Saturday (14/4). Take in a couple of pubs along the way, stay in either the Hollybush or Battlesteads Hotel Saturday night, cycle back the next day.

If you're interested, woodhead@msu.edu or 0191 285 6567 and let me know. Also, if you think of a better destination / pubs on the way then let me know - nothing is set in stone. We need to decide by midweek if we are to get accommodated.

Cheers,

Duncan

Change of plan - I now have other plans for next weekend: friend from Edinburgh coming down to Newcastle for a pub crawl - folks are welcome to join along the way - further details will follow.

Re: Bike ride, I'm still looking to do this - only on a different weekend. Contact me if you're interested.

Cheers

keep us posted this sounds like a grand day out.
Some pubs / brewery I thought of that could be visited,
High House Farm Brewery
Bay horse Stamfordham
Rat, Anick
Miners Acomb
possibly Boatside at Warden
Crown, Humshaugh.

I make the trip round about 40 miles each way which should be ok for most people given a whole day with some refreshment stops along the way
