Most of the meets I do are with the BMWCC Scottish Region - you and anyone else are welcome to come along and join us

Now then peeps.

I'm no where near Scotland, but I'm planning on doing a bit of driving up there this year for hooning.

I wonder if you guys had any recommended roads in mind, and areas to visit at the same time? Much appreciated!

On the way there try and head up the A68, a very interesting road. If you have the time try the B6320 through Wark and Keilder then left onto the B6357 and then pick up the B6399 into Hawick. Brilliant deserted roads, castles and steam railway (WRHA) and Hawick is a lovely borders town for a short break..

It's a naff thing for me to say, but there are too many to mention.

On the way up, you have the choice of one, or two...

A6 / B7076 (old A74) and detour to Leadhills & Wanlockhead :D , or
A68 (Darlington - Edinburgh), or
A696 (Newcastle - Otterburn), or
A697 (Morpeth - Coldstream), or
A7 (Carlisle - Edinburgh), or
A701 (Moffat - Edinburgh), or
A702 (Abington - Edinburgh)

My personal top tip is use your sat nav, but select either Avoid Motorways or Shortest Route

If anyone decides to organise a cruise, make sure that you start a new thread for it and link to it from here :wink: .

That way, nobody should miss it.

Thanks Dave is that on the bmwcc site this next meet? Where is that meet going to be located? I had a great run out today down the Clyde valley I'll be posting pics shortly. Shame about the lack of interest.

BMWCCScotland is our website, which ties together our activities on Bavarian Board and the BMWCC Regional Forums

As Dave says, the next meet is our annual Show & Shine at Ross Priory, on the shores of Loch Lomond, near Balloch
Details of the meet are on both forums
