*GS Event* Kelso weekend 17 to 19 April

Nice boots. What are they?
BMW GS boots bought used from a fine gentleman in this parish! And were excellent for my ride down to Senegal and Guinea last autumn, let’s see how they cope with the Caledonian climate 🤔. Super comfortable though.
 
Weather not looking to bad. Fingers crossed. I think I'll still be travelling in winter gear though.
 
Ill be making my way up from warrington Friday, via hawes,Middleton in teesdale, Alston, then heading over to Carlisle way to meet up with @bazman on the way up. Im a newbie to everyone apart from Baz. 🙂
I'll be making my way via Newcastleton for coffee at Mollies, meeting up with some pals there.
Then over the tops to Jedburgh, through there and take a right to Kelso.
I'll be checking into The Cross Keys late afternoon.
See you in the pub around 5ish.

Looks like the Newcastleton route will be popular. I'm also heading that way - avoiding the motorways and duals wherever possible then up to the North Pennines and Alston, Newcastleton, etc.

Be ready for beer by the time I get to Kelso.

See you all there. :beer:
 
I'm on the long slog

Won't get there till 5ish think

It's a 12 hr run for me ( allowing fuel and rest breaks )
Then Martin You’ll need some of the fine pies we tasted today when accidentally passing through Hazelden near Bury: highly recommended (I had chicken balti pie)IMG_2802.jpeg
Also the cheapest petrol we have found en route…under £1.50/litre at BP👍
 
Apologies if already been discussed, but where are we eating? The Ednam seems okay, but sounds like there might be a few of us??
I’m okay with anything, but was just curious 🤨
