OK the plan meet just south of Edinburgh in the car park here at around 10.30

http://www.thesteadingedinburgh.co.u...-steading.html


Then head off down the A701 through Penicuik, branching off at Leadburn, continue down the A701, through Romano Bridge then Blyth Bridge where road becomes A72 for a short time, branch off to A701 again heading down to Moffat. Have a stop on the way down at the Devil’s Beeftub, admire the scenery and take a few pictures. Will probably have to wait for Richard to turn round and come back to the stopping point as he will have thundered past it Continue through Moffat and stop here for lunch

It’s on the edge of St Marys Loch which will give us some more photo opportunities no doubt. After lunch a quick game of “See how far you can skim a Yorkshire man across St Marys Loch” with a quality prize for the winner. Then head off towards Selkirk on the A708, skirt round Selkirk on the A707, then join the A72 and head towards Peebles via Walkerburn and Innerleithen. Peebles could offer yet more photo opportunities as a final stop before heading down the A703 through Eddleston and back down the A701 and back through Penicuik to where we started. Round trip is approx 119 miles if Google maps are any good.

Getting to drive down the rest & be thankful twice (and up once) was worth it though.. And I'm pretty sure you didn't have to wait too long

As there were only 4 or 5 probable attendees, I would suggest moving this to after Christmas to a date that would suit all, what do the others think?

(realise this probably wont fit in with your plans Neil sorry)

cheers
