Same. I can think of two good ones off the top of me head

Nice one guys, please share any good routes with google maps and I can then convert for tomtom, garmin etc as necessary, makes them easy to share, play about with on the forum etc etc

Just had a little wander on street view around the other side of the border from the campsite, those roads and the scenery is gorgeous! Any routes through the hills or to the west coast etc would be great...in fact it seems such a shame if I've put a whole day in to get up that way not to do a couple more again whilst there....we shall see......

Over the next couple of days I'll start a thread for a Sunday ride out and a thread of other things to see and do in Northumberland for those taking the opportunity to stay a little longer.

Edit the planned Saturday ride out takes in some of the best of the Borders roads and scenery, you'l love it.

Well guys, here's a revised route from Norwich up to the campsite (thanks Andrew for the heads up on the better roads)

Assuming we get moving around 9am to miss most of the peak traffic once propertly enroute, point B is the first stop for Lunch (McD's at around Midday), point C is a second stop (at around 2pm) before the nice roads start, and the rest should mean we get to the campsite somewhere around 4:30ish ....Coming off the A1(M) after Darlington adds about 45 mins to the journey time but gets us into some nice territory for a while.

I'll leave it at that for a while, no more tinkering...

If anyone wants to try and figure where they can join the convey fire away, we can try and estimate times and maybe arrange for a couple of meeting points assuming all concerned will be at them well ahead of the agreed times so we can not waste too much time.

We'll start a new thread later in the year once things have firmed up a bit to talk about who's heading up in the convey and from where, and what extra activities other than the Saturday ride out we might want to get into too when up there

I am toying with the idea of heading on from there on the Monday for a couple more days, going across to the west coast and up or down from there...not sure yet. B&Bs all the way though, no tents for me if I can help it!

Cheers...it's gonna be a cracker

I have a week booked at the TT this year - which is using all my brownie points for this kind of trip...

Have a good one all though if you do go - meant to be some great roads up there

Yeah unfortunately already have tickets to see kasabian that weekend so won't be in attendance, have a good'un though!

Supposed to be working the AR weekend but will try and get holiday!

But I was planning on joining one of Daddyjobs Euro excursions, so we'll see how many brownie points I have left with Mrs Ace come June?

Most of us are just amazed you manage to build any up in the first place!
