Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway

0.1 mi
2. Turn right at Hanover St/B737Continue to follow B737
0.1 mi
3. At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto London Rd/B737Continue to follow London Rd
0.8 mi
4. Continue onto A75Go through 1 roundabout
24.1 mi
5. Turn left at A712 (signs for New Galloway/Minnigaff/B7079)
17.2 mi
6. Turn left at High St/A762Continue to follow High St
0.1 mi
7. Continue onto A712

8. Turn right at A713
312 ft
9. Turn left at A712
14.3 mi
10. Turn left at Castle Douglas Rd/A75Continue to follow A75
Go through 7 roundabouts

16. At Darlaston Inn Roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto A34
Has anybody done this before ? is there any current roadworks etc that we need to be aware of ?
We may also be stopping along the way (depending on bladder capacity and the amount of fizzy pop taken) so are there any Services etc along the way
It is supposed to be a 5 hour drive (non stop) so does this seem about right ?
Any other advice will be greatly appreciated...

Stranraer to Carlisle on the A75 is a good drive, just be careful of mobile speed traps. The first services are just the other side of Dumfries, and they do sell V-Power, its 75 miles away from Stranraer though, so check your fuel range before leaving Stranraer!!
