@gibbo - heh. I'd not noticed: It's a good sign - means the roads are quiet :)
I meant to write this up into text so people can follow it - but a bit lazy :P (sorry Charterhall)... ah, finally scrolled to bottom of thread, thanks Cyclingmollie for the list :) perfect!
@Uberuce: We wild-camped two nights on our earlier tandem ride down to Peebles too. And what Darkerside said! It's really awesome :D Basically I think the main rule is you shouldn't camp near to houses, but I think that's about it.
Thinking about it, I suspect CCE members could manage the whole thing in a day (especially not lugging a tent etc!). So a half-way stop probably isn't necessary (but it's part of the fun :).
@sally: Yeah, it did take a while but I didn't mind! I'd recommend the home-made stick-toffee pudding, if anyone's considering it...
@Cyclingmollie: Ooh cool! The responsibility of someone following our route! I should have warned you of two things:
1. It's a bit overgrown (with stinging nettles) near the footbridge! 2. And the last mile on the A698 is a bit not-so-nice, but there's a pavement so if you want to break the rules in the interests of safety, that's an option.
Also glad I didn't put in the gps trace as it suggested following the disused railway parallel to the A698 - which we did until we got to a difficult field, and ended up having to lug our bikes over two stiles. :P
@LB "I thought East Coast or Cross Country had a policy of not allowing bikes into their empty bike spaces without a reservation." -- oops, oh well :)
Sorry didn't reply to all these posts sooner - haven't been checking in often enough :)
