riyadhcrew Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Brought loads of lorne sausage, black puddin and haggis down with us, but obviously not enough bacon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Got back to Kirkcaldy last night, after a 14 hour trip from Wroxham. A17 and A47 were OK, but the A1 was very slow until we got near Scotch Corner and then it stopped. It was nothing more than a car park for hours. Came up the A68 to Edinburgh and it was OK until we got near the Forth Road Bridge - car park time again. We are here for a few days, so I'll do a bit of a write up later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 You have just reminded me, why over many years, Eric, I drove down and up through the night ! Glad you're back in the Kingdom of Fife, ok. Look forward to your write up. Iain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Iain, We drove down on Thursday 21st July - leaving Kirkcaldy at 5.40am and the total time of the journey was 9 hours, with about 1 hour for stops, so not bad. Totally different ball game yesterday - so much traffic on the main roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hi Eric, I did it always well under eight hours through the night, with stops at Southwaite, Leaming Bar, and an hours zzzz at a very good lay-by close to RAF Cranwell. In to the Norwich Market for bacon roll n coffee plus fresh veg etc. When starting from Thorpe St Andrew, went to Sainsbury's for breakie.
