You can put a postcode into the RNS-D (just enter it as you would a city name) but it's not very accurate.

I enter the co-ordinates instead. Much more accurate than postcodes. Find the place in Google Maps/Street, right-click and select "What's here?", click on the co-ordinate link in the box that pops up and it will give you co-ordinates (in the directions box) in the format used by RNS-D.

These are the co-ordinates I've pre-programmed into my RNS-D:

The Lindisfarne Inn
55°40'19.7"N, 1°54'59.3"W

Bamburgh Castle
55°36'29.6"N, 1°42'29.7"W

Holy Island
55°40'52.2"N, 1°50'47.8"W

Prestige Motor Services Limited
54°31'44.2"N, 1°21'31.4"W

Hi all my car is in bits at the moment, my ex boss did offer the loan of his RS4 for the weekend! but i didn't want to be responsible for it! i don't think i'd be able to sleep with it parked up outside. so I've borrowed a little blue car i think its a Hyundai. my mate just calls it the blue car. so i'll just turn up on sunday at Prestige.
I look forward to seeing you all Dave

Hi David
I still can't get over it, BUT I will make every effort to at least pop in for a day or two if possible.
Do you know guys if any of the local hotels still have any double or single rooms?

Thank you

Hi Marcin,

I cancelled my Saturday night booking a couple of days ago, so that room might be available - have look at the event thread for timings to see if that works for you.

Cheers

Evening All.
Gwen, Jordan and I arrived home safe but not very sound at 18:00.
I'm knackered.
BUT Thank you all, organisers, drivers, passengers, workers and especially the well behaved kids for giving us a really wonderful weekend that culminated in hoggin myself at our sponsors.
Even the aircon regas worked, took a few miles but suddenly we had freezing cold air blasting in our faces.
Can we pack our bags for next years jolly?

BIG THANKS from me & Christine too. Thanks to the organisers for a weekend that felt like a mini holiday, thanks to whoever made the weather loads better than the forecast and thanks to all at Prestige for making us all so welcome today. And thanks to all the attendees, many of whom have become friends over the years; your company was the icing on the cake!

I'll get some photos uploaded over the next few days (I took loads, so they'll need a severe edit!).

Here are the photos that we took over the weekend.
I've included the first to prove that I had started to prepare the Devil's Fuel Eater.

The weekend certainly went off with a bang!
