Riding to Scotland from Leeds

[Snorty]

Going to be riding up to Scotland soon...

Is this going to square my tyres off considerably? Don't really want shitty tyres. Might just take the GPZ instead of the CBR...

Also I went the A1 last time and nearly got blown into oncoming traffic loads. Is it always like that?

Why would your tyres square off considerably? yes they might wear down a wee bit faster on country roads.
No its not always windy down here, just pisses of rain most of the time although further north that may change.
Most riders come to scotland for the roads, you know the cbr makes sense

You could always just avoid most of the motorway and stick to the A roads, go through to Keighley onto Skipton then the A65 up to Kendal then from there follow the A6 to Carlisle

^ map is showing to go onto the M6 but just stay on the A6... A and B roads up to Edinburgh etc are good to go as well

Don't worry about your tyres Scotland's not too far from Leeds. You should be able to make the border in under 2 hours if you try. (Gretna side).

It also depends where in Scotland you are going to I'm in Halifax, I tend to shoot up past Skipton and just after Devil's Bridge I take the M6. The border is about 60 miles from Kendal.

However my favourite favourite route, which takes ages. Which is a fantastic biking road, absolutely beautifully scenic.

Is to take the A1 from Leeds and follow it until you get to Darlington. From Darlington, you need to look for the A68. You follow it and keep following it, it will take you all the way to Scotland and to Edinburgh. (WARNING MAKE SURE YOU FILL UP IN DARLINGTON AS I THINK JEDBURGH IS THE NEXT FUEL STOP).
