what do you guys think?

Looks direct enough, that maps just reminded me the pain I felt when I realised Gretna wasn't bang next to Glencoe like I thought it was on the way up last year.
Damn geography

Coolio, so where do you fancy meeting?

I'll give you a tip, cut off just before Glasgow, and go via Stirling and Callander, much better ride via there, and you don't have to deal with Glasssgeee. So yeah its another 20 mins on your journey, but it'll be more pleasant.
M74,M73, M80, A84, A55.

IN fact its 3 miles difference in route!

as me and dani girl are gonna be stopping in scotland for a few days after the GM she's prolly gonna take my audi along as a support vehicle - but she doesn't know where she's going.

Gonna prolly go from york up the A1/A1M to the a66 and then cut across to penrith and latch onto andybrads route from there - saves us doing a world tour of west yorkshire and lancashire for the sake of it.

Me & her will prolly make our own ways' as far as gretna or similar services in scotland and then link up and find the GM campsite together from there.

Sorry guys, you're all on your own for this one one of you's gonna have to take a satnav

paul,

im relying on dave numbers and his sat nav Although im hoping tonys could join us as he has a good sense of direction and could probably get us there by smell alone...

[dizzyblonde]

if you can't find your way up there after two routes have been posted....I shall call you all ghey...specially if I can get there without the aid of a spacnav, ya bunch o wusses!

[Paul the 6th]

I'll be fine got my biological compass and ray mears survival skills to help me navigate anywhere in europe

just need to make sure dani doesn't disappear with my audi on the way to GM via ipswich or bicester... I'll have a chat with her and report back when we've formed a game plan

[dizzyblonde]

Just get her to follow either Andys or my route, and jot down in fat pen marker on A4 sheet, , exactly which junctions she needs to turn off at, stick on steering wheel or in that overhead thingy and job jobbed, she reallly can't get lost...unless of course she likes your car and purposely does it just to scare ya
