I have done a mileage chart below. It is based on the maxamum speed limits of a car and therefore does not take into account towing a caravan or personal pfeferences only the quickest route at the maxamun speed limits. I have used Kirkcaldy and Arbroath from Scotland and Portsmouth and Cullomptom from the south of England.

Kirkcaldy To Asfordby 316.2 miles.

Kirkcaldy To Newton Aycliffe 168.3 miles.

Arbroath To Asfordby 349.0 miles.

Arbroath To Newton Aycliffe 211.9 miles.

Portsmouth To Newton Aycliffe 319.3 miles.

Portsmouth To Asfordby 187.4 miles.

Cullompton To Newton Aycliffe 325.0 miles.

Cullompton To Asfordby 207.6 miles.

This is not intended to critasise anybody that runs whippet racing as their job is hard enough but only to point out that whippet racing is national and in my opinion should take all its members into account. So to be fair to both those in the south and in the North maybe one championship at Newton Aycliffe and one at Asfordby rotating anually its worth thinking about.
