As i recall, the main car park is just along from the Woolen Mill, which also has a fair size car park.brorabongo wrote:Well done steviebongo, I hope to see you there.![]()
Some questions though (for anyone)..........
1) Is the main car park in the centre of town, as marked here.... http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=aberfo ... %20FK8%203
2) Roughly how long will it take to get there from the out skirts of Glasgow, somewhere like Dumbarton.
Not sure about snack bar at this time of year but the Woolen Mill has a cafe
From Glasgow? Not sure, 40 mins at most????

Cheers Leon King, I suppose after driving 4-ish hours to get to Glasgow another 40 minutes will not hurt.Leon King wrote:As i recall, the main car park is just along from the Woolen Mill, which also has a fair size car park.

Also who else is going from Glasgow? If the timing's right we could have a convoy.

88 miles and just over 2 hours for me. Thank goodness I will be comming from the opposite direction to you lot. After being stuck behind bigdaddycain for over an hour in a massive traffic jam in North Wales last weekend I am cured of this convoy lark.

I might well be in the centre of Glasgow. I'll need to work out the best place to drop off the wife etc, so she can go looking round the shops.......... I hope it's just looking.steviebongo wrote:sorry I was on a yamaha R1 at the time ,aboot the leaving time for me I was thinking of around 10.45/11 ish i'm quite close to the city centre if you want to meet up first brorabongo?

We don't normally do the city centre when we are down your way It's the retail parks as we know theres no height restrictions. So it will be a nice change for her. Where's the best shopping centre to keep her quiet for hours?

Thanks. We go to Braehead everytime we're down, but mainly for Ikea. This time we're booked at the Travelodge in Braehead on Monday night, so Tuesday morning it will be breakfast at Ikea!!!steviebongo wrote:braehead mate ,loads of shops easy to get to just off the M8.
