Sounds good to me,if Dave agrees then the Angel of the North it is. Appears to be parking nearby as got this off google

"Heading South on the A1 continue past Newcastle and Gateshead. Take the slip road marked Wrekenton and Birtley. At the roundabout, take A167 exitsigned Gateshead South. After a few hundred yards the Angel site is a few hundred yards along this road on the left. Parking is available nearby".

Will whoever's doing the Northumberland stretch presumably justmicky be stopping for photo opportunities anywhere? I think a swift detour off the A1 at the north end of Alnwick to get the castle as a backdrop would be superb, also I would like to meet up just for supportive reasons
