But the people that are putting all the hard work in are actually from further north and are travelling down this way most weekends to get the Blyth track up and running. So travelling can't be that bad.
And it's only for one round for the more northern of you. For us down here, we have to travel up there for the rest of the meetings.
But we aren't moaning about doing so, as long as we can race against some excellent and friendly people.
As the crow flies, its only about 18 or so miles further than Jarrow is from Co Durham. So surely its not that much of a trek? Also its virtually straight off of the A1, so very easy to get to. Isn't Co durham more suited to the NW?
