Redwing Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) One of my members of staff is relocating back to Scotland as life down south has not met with her expectations. She has been a good member of staff and I have offered to 'drop' her home after work on Friday. Just Googled it and its 416 miles away!!! I have driven to Scotland before so knew it would be a long way but it was still a shock! I sure hope the karma fairy is making notes.....

Angels4 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I LOVE a good road trip.... Stock up on snacks, make a traveling music cd and hit the open roads. Take your time and enjoy the company of good friends and the miles will fly by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 She has offered a bed for the night but I will probably shack up in a Travelodge and wend my way gently homewards on Saturday. This lady has been a great asset to our team and I will be sorry to see her go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowlbird Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 have you checked the route against a proper map? The first time I went to a friend's new house I got the route online and if I hadn't known that her village is just north of High Wycombe I might well have taken the M4, M25 and then the A404 as they said... instead I went A4/A404... where exactly is it you're going to?

The place is called Perth - I will check our a normal map as per your advice! best check a map - from where you are it may be as simple as M40, M42, M6 and up to Glasgow then across to Edinburgh and up the M90... we found it a lot quicker to go to Glasgow and across than to go straight up on an A road. Good luck with the trip and don't forget to send us a postcard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
