Will be heading up from Lockerbie on the Friday, so anyone coming up the M74 I would be happy to meet for the run up. I can be flexible about my departure time as its not too long a run up.
Cant wait! Packing my panniers already...
Morning Folks.
1. Just had my pass stamped
2. Just about to get my new back tyre on in an hour. :laugh:
3. I'm from Carlisle so subject to final negotiations about set off time I could mebbe meet up Lockerbie A road M74. M74 from Carlisle to Abindon Services, I use the old A road.
4. subject to weather ...
5. been a long time since I've been to a "proper" campsite, cor toilets and everything, bloomin luxury.
6. It's a walk up the hill to the Pub, which is good coz it's a roll down the hill after sniffing the barmaids apron. They used to sell real Heather Ale before they changed the recipe and it wasn't quite so good.
7. Will be bringing 2 sleeping bags. My Summery 1 season fits snugly inside the 2 season big job plus thermals, plus S/L liner
Carlisle to the "Green Welly" is 170 miles - my first fuel up. Green Welly is only less than 1hr from Glencoe.
Fingers x'd for the weather - i don't have spikes in the tyres
so it's gonna have to be reasonable, I'm not suicidal. Providing the heated grips still work it should be doable.
looking forward to it. Al, good to meet up.
