across the border.
looking at venturing further south this year and was wondering if any of the north york, cumbrian, borders lot know any routes that are nice. it's roughly 2-2.5 hours from where i am to the border (east or west). i reckon i have about 5-6 hours for time in the south and this includes back to the border, if it's worth it i could extend the time. in total i have between 9am and 11-12pm for the whole day. |

If you have an extension of time.....you are more than welcome to stay in the house of Dizz overnight, if you venture slightly further.

thanks for the kind offer of 'bunking' but that is a complete no no due to circumstances ''unless i can con my Mother-n-law at some point''.
@ smithy. directions from any entry point from scotland will do but my preference is the A7. @ LOM2 will do. that way i can have a look in TYRE. hhhmmm Rictus never thought of that, poor man will suffer if he agrees ![]() |
