Likewise dear boy, those couple of drams were an aid to a good nights sleep.
By the time i had got to the green welly i was getting cold and tired and phoned the Buccleuch arms hotel in Moffat and booked the same room as i had on Thursday on the way North after a quick look at the map got there via Dreghorn svcs then south west on the A702, A701 much better than that boring grind south on the M74.
A bath, dinner and a good nights sleep and i was like a spring chicken Monday morning, so back to the A1 at scotch corner via the A708 to Selkirk those horse head statues are stunning then south A68 to the A1 finally got home at 1800 1371 miles average 50 MPG not bad considering the camping gear it was carrying
