Up just after 8am, breakfast, pack and load the car. We’ve chosen the route back via Loch Lomond and it’s a good choice – an entertaining drive and picturesque at the same time. Instead of by-passing Glasgow Sue navigates us straight through the centre. Then we pick up the motorway and head on down the M74, first stop Gretna Green, where, after over 3 hours driving we decide to stop for a light pub lunch. Then it’s back on the road down to Penrith, where we pick up the A6 over Shap Fell on the old route to the north. We pick up the M6 again south of Kendal and continue over the Thurlwell Viaduct where the effects of the strong side winds can be really felt. Traffic is heavy so we take another short break at the Knutsford Services before completing the final leg of our trip.
A trip that celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary, and what a way to celebrate. Thank you Scotland.
