A68, then A697 is the easiest straightest route, but as Campbell suggests on the other thread, you can make additions/variations to that.

If you have the time, try getting to Gifford, then B6355 to Duns, A6112 to Coldstream, finally A697, great drive. Not trhequickest route, but fun.

Hi Ron,
Good choice. Jude is well worth the travel as Dan, Luke and colleagues did a great job on my car a couple of weekends ago.
No Fuss, no jobs getting done without your approval and friendly info / chat etc.
Dan may take you for a spin in his honda'd Elise. The peformance figures sound v impressive.
As the others have said - A68 / A697 I think ? past coldstream etc is a good run. If you have Tom Tom or similar take it with you because if your man nav is as poor as mine it may take a while to find!!
Cheers,
Jamie

Agree with Lawrence's choice but you could also consider the A7 down to Hawick.
I loved that route on the motorbike as there were some fantastic corners which are equally good on the Elise.
It is not the fastest route however as I have seen cars go down the A68 and met up with them when I have been travelling down the A7 and cutting back onto the A68 (although that was in the days when I had the Puma
)

The picture doesn't appear in Firefox or IE. Looks like you've got directories on your web space with spaces in the names which is best avoided on the web.

Strangely the pic is now working in IE but not Firefox.

Lawrence, nice route
Still doesn't display in Firefox though - the embedded image on the second page needs the %5c replacing with a / as per earlier post.
If you edit the source for the main page:
Code: Select all
<!-- Map -->
<!-- Putting map in a table, so certain browsers will not display on top of directions -->
<TABLE width="100%" border="0"><TR ALIGN=CENTER><TD><CENTER>
<!--Not localizable - Imagemap start-->
<IMG SRC="JudePerformance_files\image_map.gif" width="1600" height="700">
<!--Not localizable - Imagemap end-->
Change the IMG SRC tag to use a / instead of a \ and all will be well I suspect.
Cheers,
Robin
