    Welcome to the forum! I live in County Durham myself, which part are you from? Some absolutely stunning drives around the place, we're lucky to live here!

    Nowhere to be proud of I'm afraid -- I'm in Wheatley Hill (near Peterlee). Whereabouts do you love driving in our county?

    Sorry for not seeing this reply George! Stupid notification didn't come through... 

    Peterlee's not all that bad, smallish town centre but it does have character. Only thing is if I'm ever there and need to post something I always end up buying a Subway every time haha
