Lexx Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It'll take abotu 90 mins driving at steady pace to get from Glasgow to Carlisle. Beware of mobile cam vans on bridges on M74 as you get towards Lockerbie, and theres average camera's on the 50mph roadworks at Gretna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 as long as stanski doesnt run away to build a castle in the highlands. he was getting very attached to this lovely country yesterday!!! or he may hook up with the receptionist in the hotel! OI!!!!!! just catching up here!! Just because I want to live in your part of the world - with my freshly ground axe in the boot of the Zed! In case I get hassle from the natives! Anyway the receptionist in the hotel was just stunning!!! Speaking as a photographer of course! Damn .... I want to drive back to Edinburgh! So whats the bottom line Uncle Mart where are we meeting up which junction no and what time please - it takes me about 1.5 hours to get to Carlisle turn off roughly from sunny Bury?

davej Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 But saying that even metcheck who i trust more than the BBC sez http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=carlisle&day=3 it's got the potential of being another uncle martin's moist meets! (i claim copyright on that) well, looks like there's a big layby after each of the junctions for corbridge, how's about the the first one just after the A68, now we just need to agree a time!

Lexx Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Thats where me and Ho where planning on meeting. I reckon on 1145 ish? Gives us time to allow for getting stuck behind caravans on the A69. And then time to find the meeting place at the other end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Think Mart is driving home today so I am sure he will postup the specifics - just looked at the Map - A69 crosses the M6 - so I recon thats the junction I will be getting off - is this layby anywhere around there folks ??

stanski Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Its a roadster thing - had mine for 3 weeks without opening the roof, before it stopped raining and 1 month after I got my MR2 roadster !! My theory is they are actually rain making machines from the future disguised as cars - no stick with me - we dont know it yet but the world end ups looking very dull and boring - bit like Milton Keynes, so people from the future are trying to solve the problem now before its too late - see simple innit! Ok Mart meet you at the Tebay services - let me know the time please? Whats the latest list of people who have confirmed as actually turning up?
