​
Start and The Pennines
The Borders Tour is a three day (two overnight) event starting and ending at Lamborghini Leeds for current owners of Lamborghini Cars.
​
On day one we explore the beautiful North Pennines through a hand selected route of non-trunk roads, allowing for spectacular views and some great driving experiences.
​
Starting at Lamborghini Leeds, our target for the day is to get to our luxury hotel stay for the next two nights in plenty of time to make use of the hotel facilities. But more on that later!
​
Caterham owners have named the A57 between Sheffield and Glossop as Britain’s best driving road in a survey. Known as ‘The Snake Pass’, the road crosses the Pennines, rising to over 500 metres above sea level and taking in the National Trust’s High Peak Estate.
Andrew Frankel: "Ullapool to Durness up the west coast of Scotland is wonderful but a frightful fag to get to, so instead I chose the road across the North Yorkshire Moors from Kirkbymoorside to Castleton. Beautiful views, incredible road, super quick, a good pub and one decent jump, best done southbound. I can remember flying an SLS Black over it. It’s where we drove the McLaren F1 in 1994 (and jumped that too), but my best ever drive was in a slightly tuned F40 claimed to have 650bhp. Unforgettable."
Carter Bar
Carter Bar is a point on the England – Scotland Border, in Roxburghshire where the A68 road crosses the border and forms a pass located at the top of Redesdale in the Cheviot Hills.
​
This is an ideal photo stop, there are two marker stones on either side of the A68 for this purpose.
Selkirk to Moffat
Why it's a dream drive:
​
Hills and lochs, just a scattering of remote dwellings and a remarkable sequence of dips, crests and bends; need I say more? The Scottish Borders is frequently forgotten when debating Britain's best driving roads, but the A708 has to rank among one of the most testing stretches of Tarmac anywhere in the UK - with a £552,000 upgrade having just completed, the tarmac will also be pristine for the tour!
​
There are technical challenges aplenty and it's riddled with awkward depressions and cambers that'll quickly separate the men from the boys when it comes to chassis dynamics.
Roads To Melrose
The country roads of the Borders are often thought of as the perfect roads to explore the handling and performance of any car.
There are 3 reasons for this:
​
-
Undulating, open winding roads
-
Incredibly low traffic levels
-
World Class scenery
Scott's View:
​
One of the most scenic points in the Borders, overlook the Eildon Hills, the River Tweed and the charming town of Melrose – Home of 7s Rugby.
St Mary's Loch
​
A challenging, undulating road, following the banks of St Mary's Loch - this is a perennial target for magazine driving trips. The recent Evo Car of the Year group test was held on these very roads!
