Funny old journey - Lanark northwards

[Kiltie]

The lady inside the SatNav box took me a very funny way ...

• Two Fezzas in convoy (I think a 348 and a 360) near Cleghorn.
• A road with outrageous humps (possibly the A706 from Forth to Longbridge) - if I'd been in the Exige, I suspect we'd have caught some air.
• A wave from a yellow Westfield (I was towing mine at the time).
• Red sheep beside the M8.
• One or two other slightly curiuos things.

Scrambled eggs on toast and a cup of tea at The Horn was nice though.

Cheers,

Eric

Whats odd about that then man????

I hope this isnt racism creeping into pistonheads|!!!!! Red, black white, they are all wooly goddesses! any way you were in WEST Lothian what type of sheep do you expect to see? If you think the red sheep are strange, have you ever been to the Independant Peoples Socialist Republic of Addiewell? Also was in WEST lothian before it declared UDI for Addiewell. Was the original film set and motivation for LORD of the Rings that was!
Pahhhh. Red sheep unusual! Perfectly normal in that area if you ask me!
PS
I really do like people from Addiewell!

Bloody brilliant road - it's like driving down a sine wave! There's plenty of gouges in the troughs where low slung cars have grounded - fortunately big sloppy handling Citroens don't have that problem, thus making it a very very fun road to take "rapidement"

Red sheep

Some folk may be related to them up here!

They brighten up the M8 no end

[edinandrew]

Out of interest what are those red sheep all about?

The farmer said the wool is not worth anything anymore so he done it for a laugh.
Good on him.

Close - Longridge. Great road that, I wonder why it was made that way.

On the steering wheel of course!

Just after the horn heading towards Perth there is a road that takes you out to the airfield where they have the auction and car boot sale, Errol I think it is.
About 200 yds in there is a farm building, they stock those fake full sized cows that were seen a few years back all over Edinburgh etc.

You can imagine driving towards this, cows grazing in the field, in the barn, on the roof.............................. piled up 4 on top of each other........

A moment of "WTF" did follow. Either that or the cows up there are just plain weird

Al

Edit to say, only on here could we go from Lanark, to humpy roads, to red sheep, the horn and plastic cows..............

Bacon rolls at the horn are ace too by the way!

So thats sheep, cows and pigs now mentioned.........

Are the big plastic cows actually for sale?

If so, I want one!!!

Cheers,

Eric

There's nothing wrong with the farmer breeding his sheep red,because you can nip over the fence give it a hair cut and use the wool to mend your carpet's in you car,[mine's are red]. PS -- I'm from Lanark and your right the roads are crap in this part of the country. Cheers John. [this is what u need].
