UPDATE 8th March .
Was looking into fuel a bit now we are around 6 miles outside Dumfries there is a petrol station on the main road from the hotel into Dumfries but it only sells diesel and unleaded.
Carry on down another mile or so straight through the 2 roundabout thers is a Tesco which has 99 momentum.
There are other petrol stations around Dumfries but you will need to venture further to get to them.

Hi guys here is the link to my route to allow you to download them to your sat nav.
( i would say i did these routes the other night and have not used them on the road but i did do a run through preview on my tom tom and they appear to be pretty much right .)
