    Lol. You need to jump on it for a few miles to go over the Forth Road Bridge.

    Agree with Al though Queensferry and that little Bikers Cove is a bit off track. Though it could make for 1 hell of a picture with both the bridges in the background.

    Or could we meet QF and go down for photo and carry on - but it all takes time - a surprising amount of it - If I get satnav sorted we could consider the waterfront - photos by bridges would be epic! options options!

    I know what your saying mate. I'd guess that it could add 40 mins to our days trip by the time we got down there, took some pics and then got back on track.

    Hey guys sorry! looking at the map on 1st page you were stopping at Queensferry anyway! There is a Garage on both side of the roundabout for the bridge! I'm not sure what services you were going to but the 2 garages less than 500yards apart also the Cove is only mile or so if that from both of them! It's a famous photo shoot for bikers and it's so close to the route! only 2mins from the bridge but I don't to tread on anyone toes by any means. I'll meet up with you guys anywhere :)



    What'll do is post a map and postcode and you's can decide from there :)

    Here you go guys see what you think? :)

    And the postcode is EH30 9TA

    Point A is BP services, Point B is the Shell Garage and C is the Cove


    Builyeon Rd/A904 to Newhalls Rd/B924 - Google Maps

    If you go on street view at the cove you'll see there's a huge car park across the road! There can be a couple of hundred biker in & around the cove in the height of the summer :D
