What I mean is take the route to Moffat, which from the Forth bridge, on a bike, you'll do that just as quickly as you could on the M8/M74 anyway, them motorway that 60 mile chunk from Moffat to Gretna, before splitting back off to Brampton and having brunch at the Hartside cafe.

I was chatting with Davepreston yesterday over coffee and no beer as he is feeling poorly (aaawww), we were thinking M6 to Warrington as there is no real route there otherwise and then jumping on the A49 down.
I guess this is going to be the way for most people north of the venue.

I would definitely do the A49. From Sandiway (near Northwich) down there are very few large towns to go through as most are now by-passed. It's a cracking run down. Unfortunately for me living in Macc now the best route for me doesn't see me picking up the 49 until north of Shrewsbury, but I'm going back up on the Sunday all the way up the A49 and calling at the olds in Northwich.

OK, ignore my comments about the A49, these guys are local and know it better than I do. I have found it a bit of a crawl on the few occasions I ahve used it (wife lived in Northwich when I met her) but maybe I was just catching it at the wrong time of day.

Thanks for all the input guys.
I will take the A49 cos I hate motorways with a passion when on the bike. I always look on the trip down as part of the fun of the weekend and am really looking forward to setting off.
