Right Guys There a few things we need get sorted
Time 10 -11 Sat or Sun Depending on Weather
Meeting Place Petrol Station Shell By pass
Route Pebbles/Turn off Innerleithen/St marys Loch/A708 to selkirk
A7 or the A702 Heading back
You can get petrol at Pebbles/ Selkirk
This is a rough idea but more input is welcome

btw - this lot are up north that weekend too for there FBB
(although they pass us on the friday & monday)
if it were up to me I'd skip selkirk and head on down to moffat then back up the A701 (just because I like that road) but I guess I don't
get a vote untill I finish building the car

sure where to go after gordon though!

Both days good for me, but it sounds like it might suit a couple of the guys better if its on Sunday (it was Toniq R who got the ball rolling) anyway
if we get away early the roads will be dead any thoughts lads?
