Black Elise / Exige - Edinburgh to Biggar Road, 4.30pm ish.

I was in the orange Elise with the tin off. I think you were in a black elise with roof on (why? - lovely day ), may have been an exige.

Waved!

Hi Gary

Was me - a long time lurker here, and not a prolific poster! Roof was on as was on the way home from w**k, and frankly can't escape quickly enough! Just moved out to Dolphinton, so the A702 is now my daily commute, which is much more fun than Ferry Road ever was.

Cheers,

Steve

Welcome to the forum, how are you finding it out of the city? me and my wife are toying with the idea of moving to the countryside. Sick of paying the Edi premium for almost everything.

Stuck behind about 10 cars no doubt up until the BIGGAR to EDI road, I had most roads to myself. Had a fantastic run, left my mums and headed through curry and balerno, before taking a road towards lanark. Not sure what road it was, but the pentlands were on the left, and I could see a wind farm 5 or 6 miles away on the right. The road was absolutely fantastic. I got to a small village (CARNWATH I think), and saw a sign for peebles. Took the road for peebles and spotted a "Biggar, 5 miles" sign. Took it, and then took the BIggar to Edinburgh road home.

Great fun was had

Gary.

Gary - Living out of town (for all of 2 months now) is MUCH better than Leith. At least when we hear noises outside we're not scared of the local wildlife chucking bricks through our windows! The commute can be a bit frustrating, admittedly, since most road users now seem to think that overtaking is illegal! But still better than Ferry Road. One of the best things is not paying Edinburgh Council tax - bunch of car haters! South Lanarkshire are probably as big a bunch of crooks, but I don't know that yet...

Del - Where about are you? We are in the new build next to the village hall. Drop in if you're passing!

No worries Steve, I know exactly where you are and can walk it in a few mins - may pop in at the weekend. Nice use of wood on the build btw.
I am in the houses opposite The Creamery at the Garvald and Dunsyre junction.

[delands]

[SteveCowen]

Sorry... In Edinburgh finishing clearing the old house for rental. Maybe next weekend?

Cheers,

Steve
