You all looking to be at Dumfries about 4 again.
Just need to think about the north gangs meeting times?
Yet always bloody late anyway so we will probably be in Costa across the road rather than it just being me asleep on the pavement.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

will look at the times in more detail, but 4pm sounds right.

which supermarket do you want to meet at ... the morrisons one in town, or the big out of Tescos on the bypass [with the Costa at the mini roundabout]

yes, looks like we will have mixed weather with Sunday being the better of the days, but who cares, it will all change between now and then and we have a nice dry bunkhouse

The Gentlemen of Tynedale may well aim to meet you there as well.

Presume you mean the Tesco Extra on the Glasgow road and not the Tesco Superstore?

Grando.
Suggestion: those that are there, fill up with fuel then head over to Costa.
A. Can get a comfy seat.
B. There's only so many times I need to stand in front of the Sheriff for "Watering the hedge"
C. There's plenty of parking
D. There's normally jummy mummies to keep the eyes occupied.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time
