Trip from the bottom to the top.
 
The week of the 10th October I'm looking to travel up to Scotland. Now I've been looking at flights but I also though of a trip on the bike. Now I could just do the whole trip in one long painful bast, but I thought it would be nice to stop at a few places and maybe have a look around at this glorious country of ours.
So would anyone care for the company of the Grinch as I travel across this fair land, maybe for a stop to eat at a nice local spot and such?

At the moment this is not a 100% I'm just trying to get some ideas.

Well you have the Peaks and then the Dales and the Lakes for a few decent roads ;)

Depends which way you wanna take it big boy ;) Rough and hard, or smooth and gentle ;)

Oooh you cheeky Devil you ;)

Getting up I always find a difficulty when planning :( Till you hit the peaks there isn't much. Spose I'm just not willing to explore.

Wheres the end destination?

Last time I had to go to Ayrshire I went M1 to Sheffield, across Snake Pass and then up the West Coast.

Seems a viable idea.

Glasgowish, I can't remember the name of the cabin we are staying at... I'll have to double check when I get home.
