Hi Stephen looks great, do we have day 2 route yet please? Got the road atlas out ere, Kate
 
The 39 Steps in on Talking Pictures at 1650 this afternoon.

It is one of the best adverts for Scottish scenery ever. Lots of roads that we may be driving, and lots of places that have barely changed in sixty years.
 
We have got 2 walkie talkies that we use in the garden. We will have one and the other can be borrowed by someone else
 
Half an acre with a forest, so I will let you decide;);)

Thanks for this Steve - anyone with an iphone know how to get these into google maps or apple maps on IOS (as that's my nav!)
 
We're heading up half way, Thursday afternoon to a Guest house in a village called Hightae, just to break journey up. Looking to get to Cairndow late afternoon.
 
Heading up on the Friday, not that far, which is nice 👍
 
We are in Hightae near Dumfries tonight, lovely top down drive up in the sun ,175 mile's via Middleton on Tees, Alston, Brampton, gretna. See u all tomorrow 😁
 
I'm currently holed up in Carlisle for the night - will stop off in Glasgow to see a friend - should be at Cairndow mid afternoon.

If anyone knows a local car wash when I get there.... as it's REALLY riffy after travelling through the midlands murky weather today!
