Thinking of touring Ray's Borders route in early August in about 6 days.

If anyones interested in tagging along, let me know.

I can't make the Grand Depart, so would be interested in this, but won't be able to go firm until a bit nearer the time.

What sort of sched are you planning?

Not really much of a plan yet.
Drive up Sat/Sun, short ride a Bivi out. Then just make my way around the route over the course of the week. 80k a day average.

I'll need to pick which week by the end of this month.

About 2 1/2 - 3 hours out there is a great spot. The last stand of trees by St Mary's Loch about a quarter of a mile before Tibie Shiels Inn. Short grass, babbling brook, big spreading cedar trees and of course a pub just up the way. You'll know it when you come across it .

And midges if I remember from your report Ray

^^^ Aye, midges that time of year. It's probably more like 3-4 hours out too.

Chew, just out of interest are you still planning on doing this?

Not at the moment Ray.
Decided to do something closer to home, which was similar conditions to Turin.

Fair enough.
