It is comfortable, safe, represents superb value for money and is located where you can be in the heart of Newcastle within minutes. However, we know that they are not for everyone. You are able to upgrade your tour to a 3* City Hotel or a 4* Hotel in the outskirts of Newcastle for £25 per person, per night. You will get a little more creature comfort, but if like many, the budget is the key to the tour, then you have our word that the Hostels will certainly surprise. SKY HIGH SPORTS THE RUGBY TOUR SPECIALISTS 7 INTRODUCING: NEWCASTLE We thoroughly believe that on the eighth day, the Good Lord put an axis into the ground in Newcastle City Centre and declared that the World shall re- volve around this magnificent place for eternity. We may be slightly biased about our fantastic home city, but show me a per- son who leaves here disappointed and we'll admit defeat. Newcastle pos- sesses a vibrant atmosphere like no other. Whether it be by day on the bus- tling hives of Northumberland Street and Grey Street, or at night on the World Class Quayside or eyebrow raising Bigg Market. Being based near the city gives us un-rivalled knowledge, friendships and The Imperious Hadrian’s Wall connections with Rugby Clubs, Hotels and Activity providers. Our knowledge and experience in arranging tours up here goes directly into the plans for your tour. Giving you those pieces of information and assistance that you wouldn't otherwise find. It's not all attitude and late nights. The city is truly beautiful. Take a walk down Grey Street, along a Georgian Boulevard ranked as the third best street in England, under the drastic railway bridge before getting to the Quayside - undoubtedly one of Britain's most stunning waterside developments. It is no wonder that Lonely Planet had Newcastle in it's top 10 places to visit in 2011. A short drive from Newcastle can take you into the breath-taking Northum- Tynedale RFC Vs The Woodlands brian countryside. Home to rolling green hills, salmon filled rivers, Hadrian’s (USA). Tour match in Newcastle Wall and the magnificent coastline, Northumberland itself would be a tour highlight. Newcastle has a huge sporting culture. Numerous Rugby Clubs with stand- ards to match all, mixes with some of the strongest University Rugby in the country and a selection of excellent School Rugby programmes. Rugby in the North-East revolves around the local AVIVA Premiership team, Newcastle Falcons. The halcyon days when Jonny Wilkinson et al dominated the English game have sadly passed, but with a stellar coaching set up and an ambitious owner, the good days set to be back on the horizon for the Fal- Kings College, Taunton (UK) under cons.
