Start and Finish will be Plantsplus Garden Centre, Berwick Hill Rd, Seaton Burn, Newcastle upon Tyne NE13 6BU.

This popular venue offers a large open restaurant and parking but equally as important the opportunity to take the route into areas we haven’t often explored.

To celebrate Drive it Day and blow away the winter cobwebs we will be heading out into the quiet roads of north Northumberland, skirting the foothills of the Cheviots and offering stunning views over the moors and out to the coast.

For those more adventurous type’s the Challenge route is 114 miles, but should you wish to stay a little longer over lunch and stop to admire the views then that’s fine and the Tour route of 89 miles will be clearly marked in the Route Instructions.

Route instructions will be issued at the start as a detailed a Tulip style Route Book.

To avoid your hard-pressed navigator having to do a lot of sums where the two routes merge we’ll zero trip meters.

First car away will be about 1015hrs and crews should aim to not return to Plantsplus before 1500hrs to allow them time to clear the majority of their lunchtime trade.

The Cobweb Trophies and commemorative glasses will be presented at the Finish at Plantsplus Garden Centre.
