Ah thats a nightmare. you could develop an ailment that only fresh air* will cure.

*Fresh air at 60 mph is always the best type.

I tripped over some odd metallic blue thing in my back yard today.

Upon closer inspection it appears to be some form of motorbike.

All this reminded me I really should get myself back up to the Highlands and you nice people often organise a good excuse to do so.

The Raptor was taken out on its maiden voyage over the weekend. Looking forward to the third GM attempt in a row to actually get her up there.
As long as I get her past the stretch of road that's produced one deer collision, one duck near miss and a diesel spill.......Happy days!!!

That involves going south to go up, and motorway with a lot more miles added to the journey. The way we go, goes up through the dales to meet the m6.

Personally my preferred route from your neck of the woods would be Harrogate, Ripon, A1 to Darlington, A68 to Edinburgh, M9 to Stirling, then A84/85/82 all the way to Glencoe. Great compromise between journey time and motorway, and avoids the boredom of M6/M74, traffic past Glasgow, and more boredom up the side of Loch Lomond.
