A68 Swan House Layby

2comments

cruiser update 7/7/08: There is a quiet lane running from the Darlington end of the layby that has the best cover and is well away from the food van for daytime cruising. Park near the end of the layby and take a stroll. The comment about the area to the "rear" of layby is missleading. There is action in the bushes on the road side of the layby but only a hedge at the rear. Previous Comment: A fairly long layby, with a secluded wooded area to the rear of the layby.

Best time
After 3 pm onwards and weekends.
Crowd
All kinds: reps, locals, truck drivers.
Watch out
There is a mobile cafe there up until about 3ish.

The guide

Where exactly

A layby on the A68 North towards Bishop Auckland, a few hundred yards on the left, past Barrons Great Outdoors.

Cruisiest spot: The whole layby.

When to go

After 3 pm onwards and weekends. Best times: 7 till around midnight. Dates open: After 3 pm onwards and weekends.

Etiquette

Folk tend to sit in cars and wait about a bit, get out and make a move.

Safety

There is a mobile cafe there up until about 3ish. You're wasting your time going before then. The police have been patrolling of late, they seem to have a space of patrolling, then it dies off.
