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

That'l be me,

Setting off from Manchester friday morning but not sure exactly what time,

Hoping to get up to Erskine Bridge to meet up with anyone else that's meeting there (sometime mid-late morning?)

Probably leave home around 8am (ish)

If you fancy meeting up for the ride to Scotland then let me know.

8am from Manc sounds ok - what time would that get us up there?

Alps what time will you be passing this way??

if you are giong M1 A1 then we could maybe meet you somewhere?

or similarly if you are going M6!

it's all to play for!

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

We'll be leaving Durham early morning Friday - possibly an A1 and up route, so it's not the same as the way down.

Which way are you folks going??

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

Ok I'll take the M1/A1 route up so could meet the manc crowd at a services and then we could ride up and meet Mudwizz and BTBloke further along .... how about scotch corner??

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

it's all good - no point in doing a tour if you can't see stuff while you are riding!

soo Alps what time realistically - without pushing it on your part of getting up toooo mega early could you be passing say Leeds?

that will give me and MX5Ringer a place and time to meet you then we can head up to catch Mudwiz and BTbloke!
