that looks good, but i would make a few alterations (don't like doing the same roads twice :-) )

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...&sz=13&t=m&z=9

could then make hartside lunch and jedburgh T (like the chippy there).

tiz ok about the garmin routes. i can make them from google maps :-)

it's routes that are good on the bike with nice scenery i'm looking for. taxing routes will have to be nearer the border as they take a bit longer to do, longer runs would mostly be main roads but not major roads and i most defiantly don't like motorways.

If you prefer Google I'll use Tyre to turn Garmin to Google, no probs

Will post a route from Wast water to near mine via the Hardknott. Don't let folk put you off the passes, yes they are narrow and steep (30%) but I've done them both ways on the SV650S and the gixer.
