There are 77 polling stations in the Hexham constituency; today I visited all of them; I had 3 drivers - Angus from 7am to 12, my brother Peter from 12.30-5 and Jamie Williams from 5-9.55
We started in Humshaugh and then headed down the Tyne valley to Gilsland, then down the South Tyne to Slaggyford, before heading up and over the Allen valley to Hexham. After a late breakfast we went north to Kielder and over the Forest Drive, then down to Ponteland. Jamie took over for the dash through Prudhoe, the Durham road to Shotley Bridge and Blanchland and then back to finish in Barrasford.
We canvassed as we went. Another team were in Tynemouth.
We had knocking up in Hexham, Ponteland, Wark, Corbridge and Prudhoe and selected villages in between.
