Hi Gary / Steve / Clarkie
I actually just this minute left a VM for Steve. To say that sadly I'm out altogether now
So obvz you guys are welcome to stop by McDs, but I'm unlikely to be there!!
Yesterday, my client's project unravelled yet further and I now need to go on-site in London on Monday to ensure I mop up the mess before a couple of key events through the week.
The route I knocked out should still be a goodie, and the A90 closures don't need to be an issue for you at all. Just return to the M90 junction and carry on with signs for A720 City Bypass. Merge onto M9 then cut on right 2 lanes to go through Newbridge underpass, peel off for M8 EASTbound to Hermiston Gait and City Bypass.
Just accept that Bypass could be slow but it's the only way to reach the start of the A701 I'm afraid. Exit at Lothianburn, so at least you don't need to suffer the Sherrifhall Roundabout
Plan B if Edin appears gridlocked (big thing on at Ingliston too I think?) - nice wee rat runs I use a lot to stay off the A8 near Ingliston, M8 spur to bypass, etc:
https://goo.gl/maps/3mTnBkZ7b94TEcYB6
Plan C - change your RV point with Clarkie and just go Perth - Stirling - Cumbernauld - M73 - M74, forget the A701 altogether but pick up the M74 "side-road" anywhere from here:
https://goo.gl/maps/BPKjnUdDfD8Rw9VW8
Also, that's the exit to drop into Cairn Lodge Services, very different to all other M-way services (Farm shop, family run etc - recommended as an alternative lunch stop!) - http://www.cairnlodgeservices.com/
Just watch, the side-road chops and changes a bit from there all the way to Carlisle so you need to keep an eye for B7076 / B7076 or it's very easy to land up in Dumfries, LOL!
Have a great time. Maybe next year, eh...

From Golding on Facebook...
Oulton Park Tuesday - warning
Message from Mark who's local to Oulton - "Kings Lane currently isn’t passable in a Lotus, deep flood water is entirely across the road."
I know theres a few pubs/hotels that side so you may want to check and avoid..

Camster sorry work has got in the way
I’ve been there many times over the years doesn’t make it any easier but lines up future sorties
Happy to meet anywhere, looking forward to a few bends other than a motorway slog
