paulplom Posted July 17, 2024 Posted July 17, 2024 Anything set in motion yet? Weather dependant I'll do it on the vespa. I was up St. Abbs/Eyemouth on it a couple of weeks back. Jim Bell 1

Expand As a few will confirm, it's smaller than it looks On 14/05/2024 at 13:34, juular said: I've been contemplating something like this as a very first draft. This takes in the A708 and A701, both of which are brilliant and scenic roads, and most importantly avoids the busy A7 and A72 I entered Peebles as a start/end point but in retrospect it's best avoided as parking is expensive and it's full of tourists. I used Carter Bar as a start point as there's lots of parking, it's a lovely spot, and it's right on the border for you southerfolk. Let me have a play around with routes and see what I can come up with. Expand On 06/07/2024 at 14:57, loserone said: Should we try to do another of these then? August/September? @juular and @MrsJuular, should we come a bit north? Expand One of my all-time favourite little loops is from Duns up to Cranshaws then up past the Whiteadder Reservoir, and left across the moors and hills down to Longformacus and back to Duns. Fantastic driving roads whether pootling or pressing on, views across to Bass Rock from the top end on a clear day, and beautiful scenery throughout. About 30 miles all-in, and a visit to the Jim Clark Museum after... gm, GeordieInExile, MiniMinorMk3 and 2 others 5
320touring Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 That Longformacus backroad used to be on the "Extended test route" when I had a unit over at Drem. Great fun! yes oui si 1

GeordieInExile Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Feels like it's about time for another one of these... the Panda could do with stretching its legs and I want to sit in @Schaefft's V10 Audi. hairnet 1
Schaefft Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Definitely, I'm even happy to provide the grounds for a Twixfest this time around if we want to host something near Hexham! yes oui si and GeordieInExile 1 1
GeordieInExile Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Something near Hexham would be class, some fantastic roads around there and it would give me an excuse to go into Hexham itself for a poke about that tat emporium that's over 4 floors and has a record shop in it.
loserone Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 Fuck yes. Are you two taking on the coordination for this one? Feel free! Am a bit maxed out at the moment.
maxxo Posted January 20 Posted January 20 yes, actually going to be able to attend one this year too so yes, i would love to GeordieInExile 1
