Some of you at the Speech House may recall my wife extolling the virtues of a place we stayed in the Borders, referencing David Steel. No-one could recall the place though.

Well it was Ettrickbridge and we stayed at the Cross Keys Inn.
Sadly it appears that the cottage-style accommodation we used as well (large group) is no longer associated with the pub which only has 5 rooms.

David Steel's place is (was?) Aikwood Tower (he's now Baron Steel of Aikwood) just along the road; we looked round it and my daughter played piano with his wife while he was working in the summer house. I guess he's moved as it's now an upmarket holiday property. http://www.aikwoodtower.com/

Picture of the pub showing the presumably now-unrelated cottages. It's a nice play to stay, eat and drink if anyone is going that way and a lovely area for touring and walking.

Default Meets addition…German Classics, Wigan, 03/08/14

Looks like this one isn't on the events list - although it's not just Audi, there are a number of forum members who've attended on previous years, so probably worth adding.

1 minute Youtube video of 2012 event here: - incl. a very brief pan shot of some of our guys at the end - blink and you'll miss it!:
