I do have this Friday and next Monday off, due to teacher training, but I'm going to spend those riding local services (something I haven't done in a long time!) and trying out some different locations, just on my doorstep, around my area. So....here's what I'm planning;
Day 1 -
#21 - Chester to Durham
(11:15 --- 11:32)
#20 - Durham to Houghton
(11:42 --- 12:16)
#4 - Houghton to Washington
(12:21 --- 12:53)
#2C - Washington to Sunderland
(13:01 --- 13:36)
#78 - Sunderland to Home
(14:07 --- 14:43)
And...Day 2 -
#78 - Home to Sunderland
(10:10 --- 10:46)
#35A - Sunderland to Houghton
(11:00 --- 11:35)
#4 - Houghton to Washington
(11:41 --- 12:13)
#8 - Washington to Sunderland
(12:33 --- 13:00)
#20A - Sunderland to Houghton
(13:12 --- 13:35)
#71 - Houghton to Home
(13:43 --- 14:04)
Not sure on dates yet, but I've got my mind set on those two!
Makes a change to your usual Gatehsead and Metrocentre
They sounds good. Though maybe you could try and get the 208 to Peterlee and catch a ride on the X21 on one of them?
