Hi Nick,
All the best for 2018! Thats a FULL looking calendar! Sharon and I hope to be around to attend a lot more events in 2018 as we are not going on quite as many overseas holidays as last year! The Borders run on the 23rd September I think is the one we loosely discussed and I said it would be great to take the group up to Carter Bar on the Northumberland/Scottish Border. The run up the A68 and through the Northumberland National Park is one of my all time favorites and one I used to use 4 times a month for 3 years when I was working up in Scotland some years ago. The views from Carter Bar on a clear day are absolutely stunning and there is normally plenty of parking with a snack caravan doing teas and sarnies. From there we can go on a short way into the old town of Jedburgh and park together at the edinburgh woolen mill. They also have a fairly large cafe, toilets and a very large car park. Its right next to a large Shell garage and they sell VMax unleaded and diesel. Total distance from Champs is 72.6 miles and without stopping and traffic is about 1 hour 35 minutes. https://goo.gl/maps/tr833uBhrs62 Punch in the link above and you can see what I have in mind. This can be a very challenging and fast road with blind summits, crests followed by compressions and flowing long curves. In dry sunny conditions it is a delight, very scenic indeed, almost alpine as it starts to climb up to carter bar with many switch backs. We can discuss nearer the time. See you on the 14th January. Mike |

Hi Mike
Definitely sounds good. The A68 is one of my favourites too, as I use for for my regular commute to Scotland. It's better in the dry and daylight though ! Nick |
