Look for the Woodlands sit in cafe in the lay by at A1 Newtonmore north of Berwick, excellent food, very clean, and reasonable priced.

Will do

If you have 2 hours left then Newton Aycliffe would be a good place to park for the night, junc 59 (A167). Truck parking behind the Shell petrol station. Maccy D’s if you need it…

Newton aycliffe is a decent spot, but when I used to use it a few years ago, it got filled up earlyish, I wouldn’t wanna be short on time and relying on getting a space in there as it’s not the biggest place you’ll ever visit.

leaving yard early weds so hopefully once I’ve delivered nr bromsgrove I can get to donny early pm load and be away by 3pm and head north…best laid plans and all that :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

If it’s where I think you mean why go to McDs when there is a good cafe on there that does really good meals for a fiver and the guy adds that fiver on your parking ticket.
