A couple of weeks ago I drove from Settle to Edinburgh and back in the same day, taking the totally off piste 'as the crow flies' route. I went Settle, Ribblehead, Hawes, Kirkby Stephen, Middleton on Teesdale, Stanhope (Weardale), Corbridge, up the straightest, undulating-est road in the world into darkest Northumberland and Kielder, over the border to Sconny Botland, through the borders to Jedburgh and then eventually Edinburgh. And then the same in reverse. A truly stunning journey and fantastic to drive (excepting the speed cameras every 200 yards once across the border).

I didn't see one car until Kirby Stephen where I picked up three. These turned off at Brough leaving me with two totally lonesome and awesome moor crossings into Teesdale and then Weardale. Traffic picked up for a while on the A68 but disappeared gain in Northumbria.

Fantastic if you enjoy driving

Came back via Falkirk Wheel, Edinburgh, Carter Bar and Hexham and back down A68.
A nice road to drive.

Impressed with Falkirk Wheel. Anyone with an interest in Engineering and / or canals would be worth a visit.

Not a lot to report really jodj - feeling rough after last night's lobster half watching classic Bollywood films on the TV in my room at the Pearl Continental (affectionately known as the PC by everyone in Karachi) and debating whether to go downstairs to get a coffee. Hardly rock and roll

Jura t'other week - it's an adventure just getting up there. Actually I am really itching to do some canoeing or kayaking - the sea kayaks that people go over to Jura on look ace. I have been wondering where to get hold of one of those old fashioned kayaks the fibreglass ones like the ones that used to gather dust in the gym at our school. Can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap start in kayaking?
