Westy Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Had a look at the services located on the M6 and this one seems the best place to meet up as they have food venues etc....I'm sure we stopped here last year also: M6 between J41 and J42 Address: Moto Hospitality Ltd Southwaite Motorway Services Area M6 Broadfield Southwaite Carlisle Cumbria CA4 0NT If people have the postcode no one should get lost! What you guys think!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So what time do the Glasgow continent want to meet if aiming for Carlisle at 12...10am!? Myself, Geo and TonyTT will no doubt be heading up the M77 from Kilmarnock so was thinking that somewhere in Tradeston either at Springfield Quay or Wallace Strett would give us an easy place to meet and get back onto the motorway. Thoughts!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for time, 10 sounds ok to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Still says it'll take 5hrs Aberdeen to Carlisle mate with you lot arriving at 1pm....we will be there at 12 if leaving at 10am....that way we will be there more around 6pm;) We need to stop off at edinburgh and then selkirk before heading to carlisle though dude, so that will add some time on to our journey. Were heading down the A90 then onto the A7 and across to carlisle that way - 229miles = 5 hours 11mins according to google maps.

st3ven1 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Just out of interest why are you taking the A7 and not M8>M74? It adds at least an extra half hour on crap roads to your journey. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=aberdeen&daddr=carlise&hl=en&sll=55.668291,-2.164307&sspn=1.76597,4.581299&geocode=FRUJaAMdOgvg_ylJddcfTAWESDFyxPRc2gW76A%3BFSKeRQMdXkDT_yECuxVmbILopg&mra=prev&t=m&z=7 Edited June 26, 2012 by st3ven1 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
