Why not?

I passed my test in September 06 and rode to Aberdeen in April 07 for Easter.

Oh that was from London BTW, and 2-Up.

Left London about 6pm on the Thursday, stayed at a Travelodge near Manchester that night then completed the run to Aberdeen on the Friday.

Left Aberdeen on the Sunday, stayed with a friend in Sheffield on the Sunday night then home on the Monday.

That was also "solo" as in no other bikes with us.

There is likely to be a bunch of Scots coming down, so meet up with them and just go for it - if its anything like previous years, people on your route will offer space to bunk down over night so you can break the journey up.

End of the day its up to you, but dont think it beyond you, it probably isn't (and yes I did read your other post about you and OH

That's a P!SH excuse. You can't beat a wee (BIG) road trip. Don't write it off yet mate.

I'll buy you a beer if you go.

Easy for you to say, you ride an intercontinental ballistic missile, you'd be there before I get to the border.

Add some bends and it's a different story!
