Forth bridge convoy 24/2/2013

To celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Bongo Fury owners club, Sunday 24th February 2013 has been designated as National Bongo Day. What we have in mind is a series of events in various locations across the UK & Ireland where Bongonauts can get to meet each other and perhaps have a Sunday lunch.

What's the best route from Dumfries,

My choice would be the A701 to Beatock / Moffat, M74 to Abington, A702 until you reach the Edinburgh bye pass the A720. Join the A720 and go north / west towards Glasgow untill you reach the very end of the bye pass (ie ignore the Grasgow turn off for the M8). Turn right onto the A8 towards Edinburgh and take the first left onto the A902. Go to the very end of the A902 and turn left onto the A90 towards the Forth Bridge, this was the old road to the South Queensferry before the motorways were built.

Too much motoways can be boring, it is better to see a little bit of Scotland as you travel.
