Scottish Borders

In Border Country

Langholm Routes - 14 September 2024 It is only the second time we have been in Scotlands border country this year.

Yorkshire Dales

No Rainy Day Today

Glenridding Routes - 6 July 2024 We have routes going on both sides of the lake this time out. The lake is Ullswater which is not really a lake and the finish is in Glenridding.
