Why post the update in white text on a white background.........or do you use the Dark Zorg Style?

Edit: I've just changed to the Dark Zorg Style and I can see your update.

Thanks mate

Hi everyone not long now weather looking 50/50 Saturday looking decent Sunday weather is going to deteriorate a bit.
Some additional information for everyone.
Can I ask that on Saturday and Sunday morning everyone is fueled up enough for the day ahead just so we are all good to go.
To that end here is a list of the 5 local petrol stations to the hotel.

BP. 22-26 Maybole Rd ka72qa (0.9 ml)

Morrisons Castlehill Rd ka72hy ( 0.9 ml)

Esso 130 Hillfoot Rd ka73lb ( 1.5 ml)

Tesco Whitletts Rd ka80qa. (2.3 ml)

Shell Prestwick Rd ka88jt ( 2.5 ml)

Just trying to access the route files from the original post created 30/3 ...
Clicking the links takes me to the "my route app" website ok but when I click "View route details" I get a 404 error on both routes.

Just trying to access a file I can use in apple maps or google maps on my phone - in case there's a better way?

Cheers

I’ve saved the routes as GPX for anyone with Tom Tom

Just got Lynne to try it on her phone.
When you click link off forum like you say takes to my route.
She had to join ( free trial ) once she had done this she got access to the route no problem.

Saturday meant to be sunny ( but cool) rain is coming Sunday just depends when arrives how long we will avoid it.

 

[Stevo7682]

Although Lee literally just watched latest BBC forecast might dodge the rain on Sunday yet.

 

[bertiejaffa]

New shoes for the holiday

Managed to get access to the routes (my old IE browser was the initial issue) but as I have iPhone there doesn't seem to be any way to transfer the routes to my phone to use in any of the apps I have for nav on there... grrr!!!
So will have to just follow the convoy and hope not to be split off!
Do you guys use radios on these trips? As I have one somewhere I could bring if you do?

 

[bertiejaffa]

We always wait for the person behind when we are at a junction etc... and there will be enough people with SATNAVS for the greater run.

 

[137699]

Think I've managed to get a 14day free trial of the MRA Routeplanner app on my phone and have saved the routes so in theory - all good!
Fingers crossed for uneventful journeys for everyone tomorrow. My friend Graham who's joining me for the trip tells me it's snowing where he lives in the highlands today....!
