We left York a few minutes before 8 this morning and are now paused for coffee at Annandale Water services after a super run up and across. The York ring road was bearable early on a Sunday morning and we quickly picked up the A19 to Thirsk, then cut across to the A1 and up to Scotch Corner. From there the old Roman road (A66) to Penrith provided a fast run and super views over north Yorkshire and Cumbria. At Penrith we took the M6 north, which then became the A74(M) at Carlisle. We're about an hour south of Glasgow now and hope to be parking somewhere round Loch Lomond for a late lunch!
Last night has shown us a few minor leaks in the fibreglass in the back of the van that will need patching before insulation and lining can take place but nothing serious and we slept dry and snug. Better to find the leaks before lining the back, anyway!
No photos just yet - I haven't yet figured out to upload photos from the blackberry so there will be a slew of them when I get web access with the netbook!
