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.
As i recall, the main car park is just along from the Woolen Mill, which also has a fair size car park.
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. :lol:

All this going well, we will see you there folks. :D

Sunday morning should be a good time?

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

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. 8-[

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? :lol:

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!!! =P~
