The Drive and Sunday lunch to Kielder Forest has been set for Sunday 8th April 2018.
The itinerary is as follows :-
They don’t need food pre ordered and will reserve our tables and take orders as the cars arrive.
Distance from Sally’s to The Pheasant Inn is 46 miles and takes about 1hr 15 mins - 1hr 30 mins depending on conditions and driving speed, but the roads should be fairly quiet on a Sunday morning.
Below is a link to the route which is fairly easy to follow and is driving on some excellent roads in beautiful scenery.

I’ve also made some PDF route pointers with pictures for a couple of the turns and the complete route directions map from google to assist co-drivers if required which I can email over to anyone.
