Sounds good to me

As long as it stays dry; I get little pleasure from riding in the rain.

Ok, hopefully,
meeting at junc 58, A1M/A 68, @9:15-30, head through west auckland, toft hill, middleton-in-teesdale, alston, north to old roman road via A689,A6071, then north on minour roads to lockerbie, to head south into dumfries on A709. obviously this will never work, and will deviate from route lots avoiding rain, and popping into cake shops. but its nice to have a plan!!

We did have a great time. Rain threatened nr Penrith but never materialised. Some brill roads taken at speeds I would not have attempted on my own, but with Mark leading, so much easier - cheers mate

And thanks for the cuppa! Lunch at Dumfries sat by the weir watching the gulls feeding off the fishes in t'river. Magic day

Glad you got back ok XK
Yes we were very lucky with the rain,
And it's still dry here over the border!

Such a nice change to ride the Middleton- Alston- hartside- Penrith
Route . In the dry, without a single other bike passing us either way
Or even at hartside!
