DRIVE EVENT
THE BORDERS TOUR
Monday 19th September to Friday 23rd September, 2022
Due to the success of our Wales and Cotswolds Tours, we have added an additional experience for all SL owners. The Borders Tour is an exploration of the northern borders including the North Lakes in Ullswater, Northumberland, the Borders and Edinburgh.
We are working hard to finalise the details for this tour, with MD and Founder, Sam Bailey, taking the time to ensure the route is both adventurous and pleasurable for owners. This tour will be suitable for all SL owners – from the Heritage models of the Fifties to the roaring Turbos of the Noughties.
Owners will be given their own Borders Tour book featuring daily activities, eateries and sights that must be visited. The guide serves as a driver’s aid, offering a schedule to follow. Should owners wish to go off-piste, they are free to embark on their individual route alone or in groups. We will convene in the evening for dinner, drinks and an abundance of tales and laughter.

The tour kicks off from Keswick, where your first night will be enjoyed at the Borrowdale Hotel nestled away in the rolling hills of Cumbria. This will be your first evening of introductions, getting to know your fellow enthusiasts over a select menu prepared by the hotel’s esteemed chefs.
20.09.2022 | Day TWO: The Road to COUNTY DURHAM
Heading east, we meander our way through the North Pennines, soaking in the beautiful surroundings and enjoying an array of sights on route to Derwent Manor Hotel, County Durham.

From County Durham, we had head north west through the unspoilt landscape of Northumberland National Park, skirting our way across to the Dryfesdale Hotel, Lockerbie.
22.09.2022 | Day FOUR: INTO THE CITY
Following three nights enjoying the wilderness, we head north for Edinburgh, where we enjoy our last night together at Dunstane Houses. Here we will share stories from the trip over dinner and drinks.
23.09.2022 | Day FIVE: Homeward Bound
Our final day of driving gives you the flexibility to take your individual route home, or drive in convoy with your new found friends. Day four is the chance to continue the detour and enjoy the sweet sound of your classic Mercedes-Benz; before returning to the hustle and bustle from whence you came.
We commence on the 19th September, heading home on the 23rd September.
The full cost of the tour is £2060.00 for two people, including breakfast and dinner at each hotel.
