Default Any one live in Newcastle that has time to show me a few sights or give me some tips?

A Southern Shandy drinker here!
My plan is to fly in from Germany.
Collect a roll cage from a member on here
Spend some time down in Kent - doing stuff on the car
and then drive up to Harvey´s place in Darlington on Monday the 5th July and leave the car with him for fair old while.

Seeing as I will then be in the North it would be good to see a few places I have never seen.

I could hire a car from Darlington and spend Monday afternoon and night in Newcastle/Sunderland area

Anyone on here fancy meeting up and showing me a few sights or just the general lay of the land? Anyone know of a half decent but reasonable priced BandB?

I am then thinking of heading up to Scotland for a few days and staying with a mate in Clydebank and perhaps seeing a bit of the Highlands as well.

Guess I will fly out of Edinburgh

Any suggestions welcome
Steve

OK - that bad is it!

Thinking of Berwick Upon Tweed perhaps.

I was trying not to alienate the Mackems too much.
