In the morning I’m going to Dunfermline in an artic and was wondering what was the best route from Manchester. Any ideas would be welcome.

What time pal ?
M6,M74 that’s the easy bit. If you are gonna be at Hamilton before 7 then J5 onto A725 Bellshill bypass,M8 East,M90 forth bridge. If you are gonna get to Hamilton
after 7 then continue along the M74 toJ4 Maryville onto M73 then off at J2 signposted Edinburgh.

+1. No high winds forecast for tomorrow so Forth Road Bridge will be ok. You’ll probably need a 45 by the time you get to Harthill Services too.
Will be leaving Manchester before 5 am as I’m supposed to be tipping at 11am in Dunfirmline.

you’ll not make Dunfermline by 11 unless you leave at 4am.
There goes my lie in I guess. Cheers guys.

If your tipping at Amazon, take a flask just in case they haven’t fixed the coffee machine yet, in fact take enough supplies for a long wait, xmas cards & stamps recommended.
6 hours should be just enough on a clear run (including a 45), it’s the last 50 kms that can either take 40 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes.
so what time did you leave and what time did you get there?
Well I was on site at 04.35 as this was the soonest it could of been. Got paperwork for the beer and told trailer was round the back. Bloody shunter was taking P, big time with where he parked the trailer and how it was left. I finally got off site at 05.15. Got derv and had a 45 at Hamilton services and finally arrived at Dunfirmline at 11.20. Not to bad I feel.
Then over to Tranent to collect some steel for the morning at Tebay. So I drove Down the A7 and on to Penrith truck stop. A full 10 hour driving day. Job done, until tomorrow.
