Border Raid

Couple of days in the Scottish borders on Round Britain duty!! There's worse ways to spend a few days . Was originally planning a few days in Wales but the weather forecast looked better up north. One of the best ways to travel to Scotland is up the A68 and over Carter Bar. Today the roads were empty so a good time was had. Just outside Toft Hill there's the A68 cafe and its a lunchtime stop to fill up on steak pie & mash. Great home cooking and now added to the list of "stops of choice". 
I'd missed alot of the A1 coming up as I turned off just after York and came along via Thirsk, Northallerton and Darlington. Then towards Barnard Castle and some RBR stuff, then cross country to West Auckland and the A68 to Jedburgh where I'm stopping tonight.
