Borders Run

[SpyInTheCamp]

Forry and Kai, any progress on definite date and times/route etc?

I reckon Forry has volunteered for organising this given his suggestion of the Lammermuirs...

Well, I'm OK for both the Saturday or Sunday but I think that Rev Chuck has indicated that Saturday is best for him and someone else has also muted a Saturday preference (something to do with alcohol ).

I vote for Saturday 18th Novemember then...

 

[SpyInTheCamp]

I'd probably prefer the Sunday, but am working on getting the Saturday free...!

If you do the Lammermuirs check out the route from Gifford to Carfraemill - Beyond Longyester (NT 545 653) its a track with the inviting old road sign stating 'unsuitable for motors' (hurrah) I've mountainbiked it loads of times, seen a few bikes up there non of whom had ever had any trouble despite passing various Farmers.
Its a bit rocky and rutted in places but should be GS'able

McDonalds is at the North end of the Berwick by-pass - as you approach Berwick from the SCOTTISH side on the A1 there's a roundabout - straight on takes you to McD's and the Travel Lodge & Morrison's/Safeways petrol station - or into the centre of Berwick , turning right at the roundabout would take you onto the by-pass.

[Voyager]

Count me in on 18th / 19th guys. The kit should have dried out after yesterday's run by then.
Where do we meet ?

Voyager (R100GS).

OK - I should have got to the end of the thread before replying.

Berwick it is then.

Voyager.

 

[Deleted account rno]

That's Voyager, bgfinlay (I think) and myself heading south on the 18th. Anyone else from up here?

What sayeth we meet somewhere and head down together.

 

[Voyager]

Ronno,

My preferred route from Kirkliston (just south of the Forth Bridge) would be - Edinburgh Bypass to Dalkeith, south on the A68, Left on the A6093 to Pencaitland, then follow the B6355 to Preston/Chirnside, then the A6105 to Berwick on Tweed. Then its a left on the A1 to the roundabout where McDonalds is.

I did that in the spring when visiting Andy Minns at "Border Bikes", its a good run.

I live on a farm, not far from the Glasgow Road - Do you want to meet up there ?

Voyager.
