Sorry but won't make this run as my sister is moving to Hong Kong and that weekend is the only time for her last visit.

I am sure it will be a good run and am gutted to miss the third one as the last two have been great.

Hi Peter, Lorraine and myself are planning on being there.

Hello Gary, that's fine, I'll be making a fresh role call in about 10 days time as some people have dropped out since they stated they were coming...

Also that will give us the final numbers for lunch which affects our decision on which lunch stop...

We will start and end in Jedburgh starting around 09:00 and returning 16:00-17:00

Look forward to seeing you...what car do you have?

The Border Reivers run will start in a Scottish Border town on an approximately 225 mile route heading south west across the Border, following Hadrian's Wall then in a large orbit through the English Scottish Borders finishing back to said same town.

It doesn't use any of the roads used on the previous two runs.

Expressions of interest welcome..joining details will be sent out a week before. Looking for an 09:00 departure and return around 17:00.

For interest Border Reivers were raiders along the Anglo-Scottish border from the late 13th century to the beginning of the 17th century. Their ranks consisted of both Scottish and English families, and they raided the entire Border country without regard to their victims' nationality. When raiding, or riding, as it was termed, the reivers rode light on hardy nags or ponies renowned for the ability to pick their way over the boggy moss lands, as soldiers, the Border reivers were considered among the finest light cavalry in all of Europe.

Not sure whether a Z4 meets the criterion, you will have to decide if you qualify as a reiver!

Any questions..pls ask..

Craig, thnx, it will be what it will be...I've given up planning based on weather as even at 24 hours notice they can't seem to get it right...I guess if it is p*ssing it down then there will be less grockles ..-:)
