Moffat - 22nd - 23rd June '16

[Iain-s1000rr]

Just looking on google maps there, could go down two ways..I hate that zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ****** motorway ****...too tempting for me to gun the hole of the HP, I'm dead impatient...so might go down the M77 cut over at Mauchline and go thru Glenbuck where Bill Shankly was born. Have a wee look at the memorial...its nought special mind you, but Shanks was a legend up here and the scousers loved him. Then join the 74 and on to Moffat...seems a planTranslation for Alex; Stuart intends being there via a non conventional route to avoid a potential jail sentence for his LIKELY speeding charge.. what about that Soof thats worth a thanks

Stu, is that the road that comes through mauchline, just passed cumnock, through new cumnock then the A roads all the way to Dumfries? Thats the way a go to ma grans in new cumnock, and my nanna in mauchline. Im on 6pts too so i will be finding an alternative route up as well rather than the M6.

Haha.. I live in Dumbuck...the new houses just to the right as you come out of the hotel... I know the owner of the Abbotsford too, we've a famous son from here too...Jackie Stewarts family owned the Vauxhall garage just at Milton, he was brought up in the house next door to it. Its all in his book. Small world man.

I know where you mean, nice estate that is. Haha funny you should say that, i read his book and that bit i remember reading.Oh yeSSS!!!! the wee kelpie, many a lovely fish supper in there. Yeh the women love Helensburghs as its full of contractors and navy boys, i know a few boys who lost their wives from working up in Faslane due to the easy women hahaha.

 

[Iain-s1000rr]

Well obviously its not just due to easy women its also their own stupid fault for revealing their true identity when meeting birds haha

B7078 then A702 and I think the old road B7076 runs parallel to A/M74 all the way to Moffat.

will be trading my 58 plate S3 in, in may for probably an A4. Got my missile now so i'll buy a sensible motor....maybe. The road i was talking about is the A76 through cumnock, kirconnel, sanquhar, thornhill to dumfries. only problem is it would bring you a bit south of Moffat so a 20min cruise on the A701 would bring you back up.

 

[Iain-s1000rr]

this made me laugh brilliant...

Funny thing is its true, "hiya im joyce" nice to meet you joyce, who's your friend? "this is joyce" what? your both called joyce? f*ck this is confusing. And all the old boys in the pubs were called rab hahahaha.

 

[stuartb]

Hmmmm ahv looked at some roads might bite the bullet and zap down the 74

Guys, you are probably already aware that 23rd June is the polling day for the referendum so this is a heads up to make arrangements to vote prior to our rendezvous. You can vote by post, like myself, if you won't be able to get to your polling station on the day. I'm posting this only because I feel strongly we should all cast our votes, after all it's the first time in my lifetime that I am getting to vote on a clear choice, instead of the party politics we get to choose between the rest of the time.

Cheers !

Alex and I are staying in Moffat on the 22nd so we can do whatever works. I think it would be better to go with whoever has the longest ride to Moffat that day and when they can get there? It might be you Stephen if you come up?
