Maybe 309 to Blyth, then 434 to Ashington or maybe 309/310 to Cobalt and the 19 to Ashington. How good are the connections between the 19, 309 and 434? To get back I'd need a 19 to Cobalt and then a 309 back to Newcastle. Quite complicated to get to and from Ashington!

Depends what your definition of good is. If it's going around the world and taking 5 times longer then maybe. The X20/X21/X22 are the buses to Ashington though and going any other way is just extremely complicated tbh. Ashington and Cambois aren't places I'd exactly be rushing to get to either no offence to them both. 

Oh and the 434 doesn't serve Blyth unless your planning to swim across the river :p North Blyth is near Cambois. It is contracted though by Northumberland Council.
