After meeting the roving (raving?) ambassadors this weekend up here, I'm in. Anyone else from the Edinburgh-ish area interested in riding down?

Will pitch up Friday.

cheers,
Doug

After coming back from my first HUBBER meet I'm ready for my second!!

What time would we need to leave on the Friday and when would we be back? Can't get any time off so I'm restricted to Fri evening (possibly from 1ish if I've started my new job by then!?!) and need to be back on Sunday eve for work!

Beej from Edinburgh to Tan hill should take about 3 hours down the A1 then across to Barnard Castle. Hope that helps with your timing. Be good to see the Edinburgh crowd down here Jake / Brad / Brian !!

I should be in as well - have a potential clash that weekend but think this one will be the winner...
Great to see a couple of you at the 'real north' mini moving meet over the weekend at Arisaig and Applecross.

so, with a few of the Edinburgh coming down together I don't need to buddy anyone down. I'm going to come down by bicycle (assuming I get the Surly fixed up in time).

Does anyone know an open-in-November camping place about 80 miles along the A68? How long is the A68 by the way? I reckon a hilly 80 miles is do-able in a day (for me!).

I'm heading onwards to London for meeting afterwards. As the government allows something like 14p a mile, it should be a nice little earner!

Mornin' Chaps & Chapesses,

if I can tweek my working rota, it's possible I may be able to get there for the Saturday night, as it would be rude not to accept Dazzer's kind offer of some (probably only be a half though, as he is a true Yorkshireman)!

I'll know nearer to the time and will advise accordingly.

Afterall we Serowist's need to keep together in a herd don't we.

80 miles from where and why does it have to be on or near the A68.

if you want a Campsite 80 miles from Tanhill travelling from Edinburgh look at the campsites at Bellingham.

80 miles from Edinburgh. And along the A68 as that's the route I'll be taking. Trying to avoid cycling lots extra just to find a campsite.

Bellingham seems to be 79.5 miles from Edinburgh, which is perfect.

thanks

Honestly the A68 is lethal on a pushbike yes you need to use it to cross the border then after Catcleugh turn right through Kielder then follow B roads to Bellingham then B roads to Hexham, Blanchland, Stanhope, Bowes, Tan Hill.
This route is presuming you are on a pushbike the only killer hill is out of Stanhope and it is a good-un.
