Does anyone know the route the cars will be taking from Edinburgh to London next Sunday?

Thanks

Not sure of the route but I'm heading to Regent Street where they'll end up in London.

Rumours of a visit to dunsfold. There's a top secret checkpoint further south. Would love to go myself but I have a wedding this weekend in Wales frown

I see there is a checkpoint in Manchester so assume M74/M6 south.

personally seeing them on route would be better than going to Regent Street as it will be absolutely packed. Not only will the Gumballers be there but also a number of other cars are travelling in.

According to the Gumball website, the drivers take their own route, so long as they call at the checkpoints. M1 is a possibility for those drivers who fancy Snake Pass for the drive.

Looks like a pretty strong lineup this year,

Good luck to those involved, stay safe.

That has to be one of the worst websites I have used.

We will not have a set route from Manchester but most defiantly we will all take the M6 and from that consider either M1 or M40. It really all depends on traffic and what the police have in mind.

We will post updates ::

Thanks for the reply Bav

Are you forming part of the display in Edinburgh on Sunday?

Not sure whether to catch the cars there or perhaps in Biggar on the way across country to the M6?

Visited Regent Street yesterday. Very busy early on, but great to see the cars come through and the weather was great for once!
