Not me, I'm afraid. With the start in Perth rather than Dumbarton this year, it doesn't make any sense for those of us from Kent (TLF & B22_JLD) to be going via the M6.

Plus it would be criminal to omit the superb traffic-free B roads in Northumberland. :th:

As tony says us on the eastern side might be better cutting through Northumberland
I had thought of eventually catching you just north of Biggar if you were thinking to cut through on the a702 to the Edinburgh ring road.
Tony if you want some company :)

Yeah I've spoken to Nic and he mentioned he'll probably cut through to your way :th: adds over an hour to our journey tho so we will just go the quickest and straight foreward way

See everyone next week :D

I sense a plan coming together... :)
We will be going via Barnard Castle if that helps.

A68 all the way to the border for me, then to Hawick on the A6088. Then Selkirk and Peebles where I intend to stop to purchase the best and biggest sausage rolls in Scotland :)
Meeting Nic at the junction of the 702 and 721
Not sure how that fits with your plans Tony

We'll be coming up the B6357 which joins the A6088 south of Bonchester Bridge. We could meet there. However I was intending to head for Jedburgh rather than going via Hawick and Selkirk. Open to a change of plan though.

There won't be any opportunity to fill up with V-Power between Edinburgh and Inverness, so I'll be stopping either at Dreghorn just off the A720 Edinburgh by-pass or at Queensferry just south of the Forth Bridge.
