Thanks for the advice guys , i'm gonna google places to stay near Moffat and take plenty of midge repellent , it would be great to meet up Red while I am up there , email esetesting01@hotmail.co.uk to arrange something .
I second the carlisle to edinburgh by the a7. Thats my haunt. Motorway to stirlings pretty boring from there take the callander road to ft william.. The a9 is boring and droll. Frim ft william to inverness past loch ness. A9 to john o groats.Head east for durness then south to inverness andft william again. If time allows head for north ballachulish and take the oban loop back to tyndrum ( green welly stop) continue on to crainlanarch and take the loch lomand road south to glasgow.. After that your back onto boring roads again.. Budgie
