We've friends in Newcastle and I go up regularly as half my team are there, does anyone have a road route (avoiding all the major stuff) from Nottingham, or thereabouts, to Newcastle? I'm planning over two days stopping in York perhaps. Thought I'd ask before I lock myself away with an online mapping site.

Cheers Both, much appreciated. Not thought of heading that far east but certainly a nice route up the coast.

You should be able to find the London-Edinburgh-London audax route online - might give you some ideas depending how far east you need to go to pick it up and then get off at the other end

Spud, the only thing that popped in my mind was............ Ahem, Fish & Chip shops

There would be some belters out that way, plus some of the riding between Scarborough to Whitby then north towards Hartlepool.
