off to the new caravan club site at barnard castle at the weekend, but their recommended directions want to send me down the A1 (from newcastle) to scotch corner and along A66, coming into barnard castle from the south.

i know i can come off the A1 onto the A688 at bowburn straight to barnard castle, which is much shorter, but is this route ok while towing? its been donkeys years since i have been through barnard castle, but from what i remember there was a few tight turns.

any advice would be appreciated.

thanks freeatlast.

that makes sense, i would prefer a steady route rather than stop/start, and i did have doubts anyway.

scotch corner it is then.

tamgyp, if i see your van, car,dog, i will say hello.

thanks to both of you for your replies.

Hi Simon
We go same way as Freeatlast describes - if I remember correctly there is an earlier turning for Barnard Castle which would also take you into the town so make sure you take the B6277 as the club directions say.

Hope to see you at the weekend and by the way there is another identical dog!
