Default Border Reiver Fuel stop- South of Otterburn (Knowesgate)

Intentional Hitler post from Pennines Massive

Just to give everyone the heads up.

The Border Reiver stations looks to have bitten the dust. Past twice in 3 weeks and the pumps have been bagged up.

That now leaves the following places along/ around the A696

- Newcastle Airport
- Jebrugh (A6
- Bellingham (when open)
- Scots Gap (again when open)
- Thropton/ Rothbury

Now fuel roulette who fancies for a round?

That's a potential pest, thanks for the heads up And.

I remember finally finding THAT petrol station after trawling round the countryside on a very quiet Sunday afternoon with not many miles left so better not rely on it in future.

No, the VRap is on SORN for winter from the 1st. SVs on the road, but still not sure whether I can be bothered to ride up on it TBH.

However........I do get the opportunity to take the Z for a spin whilst out and its more than likely I'll take up the offer too




With so much choice for fuel in that area.....do you really think I'd take the VRap after the last episode with petrol
