The only bad part of the day was having to stand on a cramped Metro there and back where everyone was squashed together like sardines. With it being hot as well, you can imagine how everyone was complaining of feeling ill and slightly faint.

I'll probably be going again this year. It is certainly a great experience. There's activities and stalls and other things there for everyone of all ages.

If you've got a regular bus in to Sunderland Interchange, the A1 that Go North East run is excellent. I tend to use that or the A2 direct from Washington.

We only took the Metro last year to take advantage of our Pop cards. I think this year though we'll probably get the A2 as our U16 Pop cards have now expired. It's also a simple 10 minute ride from Wrekenton to Washington.
