Northerners: You'll need your big coat."

- so true

Used to be a lovely drive - which way do you go? For Manchester, I varied between through Biggar, down the A7 or through the hills to Moffat. Obviously if you're down t'Yorkshire then A1's a no-brainer.

I tend to do the 702. Did the bit through Moffat once and it takes too long. The road out through Biggar is ok if you can get a good run. It's a nightmare if you are stuck behind something slow and people who won't overtake stuff!
