Cara Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Cara, why dont you want to take the Zed anyway? What's the worry? Safe & secure parking, especially overnight. Yes, I'm a little over-protective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab350z Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I've left the car in Glasgow city centre a load of times, never had any issue. I imagine majority of the city centre is covered by CCTV aswell. Good burn down to Glasgow is just the ticket! Just make sure you lock the doors going through Dundee.

Cara Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Good burn down to Glasgow is just the ticket! Just make sure you lock the doors going through Dundee.

The leisure centre is usually busy so there is a lot of coming and going and it is well lit AFAIK. Agree with Jay about avoiding walking along there at night, just in case.

Cara Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 So were all expecting sauna and pool pics ok Er... car pics only!! I think its an outside car park but am not 100% sure and about 5 mins in a taxi from the main shops, dont try walk back to the hotel at night tho as the ladies of the night gather around that area I think it's an outside car park - hopefully be okay. I was going to book the Hilton until a workmate told me that it's an extremely tight underground car park. I've been told it's about a 10 minute walk into the centre and that's fine, I don't mind a bit of a walk. But yep, taxi at night I think - heels wouldn't let me walk anyway, let alone risking crossing the 'ladies of the night' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well, had a brilliant weekend, thanks again for all the help from the local guys I've finally managed to get my pics uploaded, so here's a few snaps (both car and other stuff) for those who are nosey like me and like to spy on other people's pictures On arrival, choosing a corner spot and parking as far away from the line as possible... Then checking back later to find THIS parked in the next space (why oh why do people insist on parking next to each other when there are plenty other spaces! Grr). And yes I took a photo of the car's numberplate too for 'evidence' later The hotel front The room (fine, standard, but have to say the bed was massive and sooo comfy, recommended!) The 'view' from hotel room Another car pic (when the sun dared to come out, it having been raining most of Saturday) Some 'sunny' Glasgow pics while shopping Men in kilts Drinks (wine or vodka & diet coke if anyone is asking) Some sunny (real sun! lovely day on the Sunday) pics before leaving And, finally, can't resist.... expensive purchase (bag in the forefront, not the Lush bag ) ladies here may recognise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Zed looks great Cara, so does the hotel, stunning view of the motorway. I see Lush is still popular over there, it even appeared over hear a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
