Isn't the A184 the felling bypass which runs from the Gateshead / Tyne bridge, past the stadium and to Testo's roundabout via the Gallardo garage?

Oh, and the 7th is a car show at Penshaw - more for garages trying to sell car apparently but might be worth a look

The route North has been planned.

We should reach Holy Island around 12.30-1.00 o'clock. We'll have time to have some sticky buns and a cup of tea at Mrs Miggins olde tea shoppe, but don't fill yourself up - theres Fish and Chips to be scoffed on the way back.

Have the video camera's ready for the two trips through the Tunnel - It's going to be loud

Routes will be handed out at the Lay-by on the A184.

Are you coming on your own? Carole has offered to hold your camera and passenger ride with you if the seat is free.

The wife and kids are coming along aswell, despite that they said they would never do another day out.

I could really do with a decent cameraman/woman as the missus takes more footage of the sky. Does Carole want to use our videocamera?

I'm she will, she suggests I should let her drive so that I can do some videoing. What planet is she on?

if you want I could be a roving driver/camera man...

It would involve you all stopping /slowing significantly to allow me to head onwards, park and set up the camera but if you don't mind that...

I'm hopefully bringing a passengar, possibly my dad () so he can be a camera man as well if needed.
