Where's Hermiston Gate?:I:I


It's a retail park just off the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720), at the very end of the M8 where it joins the City Bypass.

There's a multimap link to see where it is on the first page of the thread.

A.:D

[james f]

Pretty sure Craig is leading you all round the A720 bypass, then onto the A7, then down through Gala into Selkirk.

[james f]

Yep, that's exactly the way we are going.... :D

[gill]

Now that we're on the run - YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!! we will meet with the others at Hermiston Gait (is that the same place we met with Craig, etc on the F&M day???).

See you guys there next Sunday!:D:D:D:D:D

Gill, nope, that was at South Queensferry... If you come over the bridge, take the A8000 (which is first left after coming over the bridge and up to the roundabout). Take this onto the M9, then head onto the M8 for Edinburgh (Under the Newbridge roundabout - signposted city bypass A720). when you get to the end of this road, that is you at the Hermiston Gait Roundabout. The retail park is the other side of the roundabout (2nd exit).

I'll PM you my mobile number, just in case you do a sweeney... ;)

Honestly no idea. It depends on many factors; how hard you drive the car, how far you have to go to get to the convoy meet up, etc., etc.

The actual run from Selkirk to Lauder is 120.9 miles.;)

A.:D

[AndyP & Lenore]

FAO Shielz:

Do you know if you are joining a convoy? Or just heading down to Selkirk on your own?

A.:D

[Sweeney]

it has been suggested that the time for depart from hamilton should be 08:00, this still does not take into account the extra half hour for me to navigate carlisle as i got lost though ;)

Can you please amend.

Sweeney, I think Craig's just hit the sack. No doubt he'll update it tomorrow.:D

A.

Edit: Before anyone claims Craig and I are having a poofey affair, I knew he was going to bed 'cos we were having a text conversation and he said so.;)

[Scottie]

anyone know what the weather is for this trip

[Sweeney]

at the min looks to be 11/12 degrees light drizzle in the morning evening some heavy rain

[AndyP & Lenore]

BBC News website says dry and sunny.:D

[Sweeney]

bbc lies. im right your wrong. :clown:

:D

[AndyP & Lenore]

But I doubt we'll reach the highs of this from last year....
