Layby on A184
Had plenty of fun here, can sometimes wait ages for cars to come along, but there is usually at least 1 person there all the time! Maybe it goes in shifts?! If there's no-one there, hang around, its usually worth the wait.

The guide
Where exactly
Follow the main road from Newcastle to Sunderland, the A184, and the layby is on the left, just before Testos roundabout. It's fairly long, and there is a phonebox at the north end. Cross street: A184/A19 near Testos
Cruisiest spot: The whole layby. Usually in the car (the ususal signals!) or down behind the hedge, it' quite well hidden from the road despite seeming otherwise.
When to go
All the time. Best times: After dark - varied. When work's finished, again around 9 pm onwards. Can go on all night!
Etiquette
Get out of your car! Or at least flash your lights. If you are there to cruise and are up for it, just do it!
Safety
People just sitting and doing nothing. Police sometimes drive through and ask if you are ok. Be sensible! And people here genuinely to use phones, have a wee etc. Be careful! Reports of cars/vans with daft lads carrying iron bars etc, but none confirmed. Sometimes van with fellas with a huge lamp go down into the field behind hedge, but think they are poaching. You never know, so exercise caution!
