AK350Z Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Had a drive out in the Alston/Hartside area with my mate with his Clio R27. Some epic roads in the area, especially the epic section from Melmerby to the Harside cafe, we did it about 5 times! Some nice hairpins about too! Also did the A689 and the B6295 Allenheads road to make a neat triangle. Didn't see any nice metal about though, just bikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 It looks very quiet at the Hartside Andrew. Thats certainly a fun route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 The cafe was nealy full inside, but bikes don't take up much space do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Its an awesome drive, had a few "moments" on there before. Great times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Chris- Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I drive this road quite a lot when i go up to Newcastle with work. Its a great road and beats sticking to the motorways all the way there! I've never had the chance to drive it in the zed as i use hire cars for work but at least i don't to worry to much about pot holes etc!

Lexx Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Very familiar roads to me those. Next time, be sure to continue from Alston down to Middleton-in-teesdale. My favourite road in the NE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite road in the NE. & continue another few miles to my house in Barnard Castle, all the roads round here are actual awesome....
