    Heart Of The Borders is FIVE!

    This year will be the fifth outing in the sunny Scottish Borders. Last years thread is to be found here.

    Run date is Sunday 30th August 2009

    A few details on the run...

    Info Update: Added/Changed 19th August...

    Meet in ASDA Galashiels from 10AM for a 10.30 AM Departure. Run should end around 4.30pm.

    The Run starts in Galashiels (ASDA Car Park), then meanders over some terrific hills out the Yarrow and Ettrick valleys, then we head back to Galashiels for lunch. Gala has a few eateries including A J D Witherspoons and other pubs and Cafe's. Or you could take a gamble on the weather and take a picnic. In the afternoon we head off across the countryside, past Scott's View, through Kelso (very picturesque) then up to Gordon and along the bottom of the Lammermuir hills towards Westruther, then back down into Lauder for drinkies (soft for the drivers) at a local hotel.

    Info Update: Added 20th August... Suggested Lunch Venue
    We will be eating at Quin's Coffee Shop in Galashiels. I've spoken to Quin's and they will be ready for a pile of customers coming in at once, for those who wish to join us. Quin's have a varied menu including the usual lunch fayre or Soup, Baguettes and sandwiches etc. Lenore and I eat there a fair bit and always had excellent service and top quality food. It's not the cheapest option in town, but you do get what you pay for. There's no table organised, it will just be a case of all piling in and being sat as we arrive. Quin's opens at 11.30am and start serving lunches from 12.30. We have allotted 90mins for lunch so this should be plenty of time.

    Quin's is easy to find, right next to Tesco's and just along from the Pavilion Cinema. Google Map of Green Street, where Quin's is.

    Info Update: Added 25th August...

    Don't think you've made the last dozen or so runs I've done anyway.
