Best Driving Route: Edinburgh to Bristol

[Malcster]

I'm planning to drive down to Bristol with the MR2 Turbo in a few weeks time, and was just after some recommendations on some decent roads on the way?

I'll probably be doing it over two days, so that should leave leeway to factor in some good routes.

I'll probably be using the Edinburgh to Moffat A702/A701 route out of Edinburgh (bit of a personal favorite) but after than I'll be on the M74 and craving more real roads...

Possibly some A/B roads through the Peak and/or Lake District?

Any thoughts?

Cheers as always!

You've got to take the A69 through Jedburgh and down to Hexham, then head down towards Shap that would be my suggestion for the start of your trip.
