Thanks Jacqui. That sounds like a good idea!I travelled up that way earlier this year and investigated a few options, but ended up managing to get slightly further north before stopping for the night. You might find it worthwhile joining as a full (paying) member in order to have access to the POIs on the Location App.
Just joined!Thanks Jacqui. That sounds like a good idea!
Hello All
I am looking for an overnight stop (wild or aire) for our VW campervan later this week. We are heading up the A1 to Scotland and anywhere between Richmond and Morpeth - up to 10-15 miles or so off the A1 would be ideal.
Thanks for all ideas

Heighington?there is a farm in heighton nr. newton aycliff...just off A1 and also a pub nr. newton aycliffe ....cant recall the names...howerever i found them on the internet.
Dog Inn is closed trading estate could be a OK lots of little hide always, @Stu2 near Hexham would be a great stop over.Heighington?
The Dog Inn on the A68 used to be my local ...... many years ago. Worth ringing them.
Newton Aycliffe Trading Estate is also a good possibility.
There are miles of roadworks on the A1 north of the Tyne and it is a holdup at busy times. As suggested, using the A19 and Tyne Tunnel is by far the better option. Even travelling late at night is not good on the A1 Gateshead/Newcastle area as there are diversions off the A1 for other overnight repairs.I stuck a couple of good laybyes in the POIs which are on the A19 between Thirsk and Teesside. The A19 is a good alternative route north, as driving along the A1 at Gateshead/Newcastle can be quite busy. Alternatively, you miss the Angel of the North and the Tyne Tunnel will cost you (£1.50?)
