Thanks Mac, you might want to have a closer look at the map see if there's a way to avoid Keighley...
another posiblity to save a bit of time might be do snake pass ( bleugh ) glossop, stalybridge and denshaw instead of round the resovoirs and over the hill. scenery aint as nice mind.
Regards Andy

As mentioned before Debs and I are heading to Moffat over Easter to check out routes for the coming JR18. We have a rough idea of routes, blatantly copied from based roughly on 3 earlier jaunts in the vicinity , however if any of our northern cousins fancy joining us we would enjoy the company and local knowledge. We will be in a car this time so don't worry if your heated grips aren't working. Alternatively any recommendations of good locations for lunches/coffee stops will also be gratefully received. As a guide probable routes are: Peebles-North Berwick-Selkirk Solway Firth-Castle Douglas-Newton Stewart-Girvan Any and all suggestions will be much appreciated

Yes, you don't want to encounter any grumpy bikers sitting at junctions.

Debs & I have arrived in Moffat after sampling the breakfast in Ashbourne and route up. Have sampled the Burgers and cheese board this evening so all diets are catered for. Heading off on the eastern loop tomorrow and Western Saturday.

For those that have not done a Jock Run based in Moffat before all the runs start from the public car park just to the south of the town 100m down from the Esso garage.
Runs will start at 10am each day. Please ensure you have a full tank of fuel.

I am probably not going to meet the start on Saturday, so have a nice ride around,
I may even meet you on the run if I have some idea where your stopping for Lunch,
Though otherwise I will see everyone in the evening.
