Not exactly that close to Newcastle but not too far either! For my baby brother's birthday we…read moredecided to burn off all the cake calories with some adrenaline fueled laps at Go karting. Now having been to the Warrington circuit previously which I consider to be one of, if not THE best Go Karting venue in the country, this one was a much better experience than I anticipated. (To give you an idea of what I mean, this track was 200m, The Warrington track is (wait for it) 1000m with 35 corners!! Yep, exactly!) If I remember correctly we paid £30 each for 55 laps. The other options were £20 for 30 laps and £25 for 40 laps. from experience I know that time flies when you're Go karting so I opted for 55 laps. And let me tell you, time flew by! Just as we were getting into the thick of racing battle it was time to go. We were the last ones on the track which was fantastic as we were literally just racing each other. The track was huge but just long enough with two difficult hair pin turns. The major straight on the track was long enough to build upto and maintain top speed for long enough to have you heart lodge in your mouth as you slammed the breaks on for the hair pin bend at the end. All in all this is a decent venue for Go karting and did firmly put me in the mood to start planning a yelp Go Karting adventure at the Warrington track. Who's in?

We took our Guide unit quad-biking here and unfortunately one of the tracks was closed due to…read moreextreme bad weather (flooding). It was still raining while we were there but there was a small gazebo to shelter under while waiting your turn. The sharing system for the bikes worked really well and everyone got as many turns as they wanted. Everyone got a safety helmet and they made sure it fitted securely too. Not all of the brakes worked properly on the bikes, especially as they heated up, so you had to be very careful not to crash. Some of the intructors were really friendly while one of them was a very grumpy so-and-so who made one of our Guides cry when she knocked over a cone! Overall, a good place to take a group, if you get the nice instructors!

I took my 2 kids for a day-trip to Diggerland, from Glasgow. My 14 year old son loved it but as…read morethere's nothing for teenage girls, my daughter hated it. They should have a reduced price for entry only £17 for everyone (even if you don't go on anything ) is a bit much. That aside, the people of Northumberland are the nicest people I've ever come across. I got lost around the villages and had to ask for directions many times and they couldn't have been more helpful. Diggerland should have more signage in the surrounding countryside ( best views ever, though! ). The staff at Diggerland were helpful and polite also. I'll go again but with just my son.

Everything is very safe and there is strict supervision at all times. There is also static displays and competitions for children. They also have a cafe and a shop. To be honest, I wasn't very impressed with the whole concept. Driving about in farm machinery isn't my cup of tea and it wasn't very exciting at all. You're better off spending your money elsewhere!
