This year we intend to take the run into the Scottish borders to blast out those cobwebs and spiders that have nestled in our beloved cars over the winter months.
Our first stop off point for the run will be the scenic village of Kielder, stopping off at Kielder Castle tearooms for a light lunch or perhaps if a Sunday dinner is more to your liking, the Anglers Arms in Kielder village. For those who wish to participate dinner is priced from £6.95 -£8.95 payable on the day, or why not take a picnic and enjoy the peace and tranquill surrounding and take in the view out over the resevoir for a while. We will be allowing plenty of time to stop and take in this beautiful location.
After lunch we will be travelling on to Hawick via Bonchester bridge on some superb scenic driving roads into the Borders before turning South again for the return leg, heading back towards Longtown and finishing off the day with a toilet and coffee break at our usual stopping point of Sally’s of Warwick Bridge, hopefully around 3.30pm, where you can choose if you wish to head off home or complete the run back together to the North East.
At this point it will be approx. 130 miles. Please make sure you have filled up with fuel prior to leaving as fuel stops will be limited and don’t forget a pack lunch if you prefer. Route map available on the day showing various meet and stops along with postcodes so no need to worry about keeping in a group, go as fast or slow as you wish on the day it is not a race.
The starting point will be at Toys R Us car park at Metro retail park Gateshead NE11 9XU Meet from 9.30am leaving at 10.00am. There is a McDonalds here if you fancy a coffee or a spot of breakfast prior to leaving.
I hope to see you there, please add your names to thread if you can make it.
