Meet on market day in Chester-le-Street

Chester-le-Street holds its markets on Saturdays, which is as good a place as any to start. It's a market town of about 23,500 people in County Durham, around six miles north of Durham and nine miles south of Newcastle, and it has looked like a one-street town for centuries: a traveller in the 1530s called it chiefly one main street.

Water shapes the place more than you'd expect. East of the centre, the Riverside cricket ground and Riverside Park sit on the Wear's flood plain and are often under water when the river bursts its banks. After very heavy rain the town centre can flash-flood too, at the bottom of Front Street, where the Cong Burn goes under the road in a concrete channel laid in 1932. Otherwise the climate is mild and drier than most of the UK, so check the forecast, then pick somewhere dry to meet.

A 25-mile circle that takes in Newcastle and Sunderland

Within 25 miles of the town, about two in three members are under 35, a little younger than the site as a whole. The 25 to 34s are out in front on a little over a third, the 18 to 24s follow on just under three in ten, and the 35 to 44s and 45 to 54s sit level at around one in seven each. About one in four members is a woman. They come from Newcastle and Jesmond, Sunderland, Durham, Peterlee, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough and Thornaby.

Durham to the south, Newcastle to the north

Chester-le-Street sits between the two, which makes it a fair meeting point for a match at either end. Durham is under six miles away, Gateshead seven, and Newcastle a little over eight, with Sunderland, Jarrow and Brandon all within ten.

Saturdays, when the markets are on, make an easy daytime option. Agree a dry back-up spot in case the weather turns, keep clear of the bottom of Front Street after a downpour, and tell a friend where you're headed. If anyone makes you uneasy, you can block them and report their profile or message without leaving the site; the safety page has the details.
