5 Day Scottish Road Trip 19th April 2014

[Guest iank]

Yep, I have certainly booked the hotels in the first post - which is Falkirk.

1 night booked 20th @ Dornie double room with shared bath room + soap on a rope just 3 more bookings to do.

M6 services Knutsford would be good for me ,Time?

we are going up the a1 from The Midlands to Newcastle then cutting off up the a696 on to the a68 to Edinburgh. No where near the M6.

Right by going with the posts on here you southerners have booked into to Falkirk premier instead of Dunfermline for the 19th if that's the case I will meet you at Falkirk that night for a catch up and arrange where we will meet up in the morning for the start of the run. There might be a couple of other guys from the Scottish kit car club tagging along for part of the run this could be quite a convoy.

Dan that cool will meet up in Falkirk after you arrive to grab some grub and a pint to chat about the next day. It's only 25 mins away from me

You guys are going to have an amazing trip. I would have loved to join in but I am already committed that weekend

The route shown in the first post shows the M6. If that's not the case it would prob be a good idea to get Keith to modify it to save confusion.

 

I will amend asap, the route to/from the scottish border was not a priority sorry

that is my addition to the route, when I lived there I used it regularly. The M6 way is boring beyond belief!!!

The route to Scotland is a priority. the route we head down when going to Newark is the A68 then onto the A697 this is a great road.

If I can get time off work would like to join you for part of the trip thought you were looking at staying in Dunfermline but some are staying Falkirk , just fitted the bike carbs and need setting up properly need to find rolling road in area b4 venturing out for great distances though.

Whiz do you know of anywhere local with rolling road that can spell bike carbs? or do I need to head south o the border
