Just a quick look at BikeHikeUK shows me that I would pick the A698 for Coldstream then Kelso, then keep on it through Denholm to Hawick.

44miles and only 1,800ft of total ascent ............... seems like a nice ride. 3hrs or so?
Both Berwick and Hawick are nice towns.

Ah, that's what I thought. Thanks though - seems like it could be an OK route. If you ever need routes in Norfolk, let me know!

Sorry Mick F, that was meant for rualexander - I hadn't seen your post. But thank you too, though I do think I'll stick to the B road route that rualexander originally suggested: I don't mind extra miles if it means more peace and fewer range rovers!
