Areet - camping trip. First thoughts were to go Hadrian's Wall direction but on the other hand, camping next to the beach would be ace. Wild camping would be ideal but I reckon there may be a few people interested in this and that could make it more difficult. There's a little campsite I know in Warkworth called Rose Cottage. I've just had a look and they have fourteen pitches + it's right near the beach/pubs and would have added benefit of security when you leave your stuff in the evening. It's about 35 miles so should be easy enough to crack it out with a 6pm start and still have time for beers.
I have a decent 2 man tent and a cheapo one. Happy to share one and lend the other.
So that's Plan A. Really up for wild camping or soemthing a bit more adventurous if anyone has any suggestions but I doubt we'd find anywhere on the coast unless we're prepared to be more devious, pitch late, leave early etc. + the less self-sufficiency gear (i.e. stoves, food, beer) we have to carry, the better.

P.s. can't ride tonight but enjoy. I went out to Tynemouth last night. Was awesome in the sun. 1:15 there and back as well which I was pretty happy about.
