    Sounds good to me.

    There is a little layby with a cash machine on the entrance to the retail park there (the one with McDonalds, KFC etc)

    Thats probably the easiest place to stop around that junction so I'll see you there at 8am

    Re: Heading up on the friday (20th)!

    How about meeting A1 (M) Junc. 62 (Durham, A690) ??

    Guessing about 1000 am if you're leaving Manchester about 800 am.

    My worry with that is 8 1/2 hours travel by google maps to JoG means we'll miss the petrol.

    That's without going "Falkirk Wheel" either.

    Hi Guys, thats my neck of the woods. Can I suggest meeting at Junc 59 as there is a service station and McDonalds. you can then pick up the A68 and avoid the big towns. A68 and then A7 is a good ride north from here.
    I might even be around to wish you luck.

    Mud. PM'd you.

    Thanks for the pm mate.

    J 59 sounds good, just a spit south from Durham, a place to wait and straight onto fun roads.

    What time Z ???
