i love keswick. try to get down for the day twice a year. now sure when i'd have time this side of the year, though. maybe early next year?
re distance. it's normally me going hundreds of miles for a meet! it's great when it's only an hour and a half away!

I love the A7, used to do it all the time but I aint going to see better than 25mpg.. Which means 8 Galons over 192m...
As opposed to 30MPG on the A74, and ..... 8 Gallons over 242m...
Just a mater of saving myself 45Minutes and the boy not getting too fed up being stuck in the car for 6 1/2 hours as opposed to 5hrs...

Yeah could do that..
Abingdon would seem the most appropriate.

Thats the opposite direction for us 
We'd have to come back the way we came
Edinburgh bypass??
petrol station where the A1 joins the A720?

Going further up the M74 adds too much time/distance to the equation...
A1/A720 .... Almost there but yeah...
