Re: Peebles Pedal 20/21 Oct Scottish Borders.
I was 250ml of rum down by the time you guys turned up which I thought well deserved after quite a muddy slog along the Southern Upland way to get to the bothy :) The descent of Innerleithen red in the morning with full bikepacking gear was a hoot.

Re: Three Days In The Scotish Borders
I'm guessing the chances of people partying there in December will be slim. Fire and shelter sounds good.
Slightly worried with Gameshope in Winter as there is a river crossing to do to get to it. Will go and check it out in the next few weeks.
