Location

Patterton Railway Station car park

Participants

James - first for me, and first for the Glasgow graticule!

Plans

Fortunately for me I was on the late shift today, which meant I had time to check the RSS feed before going to work. Today's location was the car park at Patterton train station, just four stops from where I live.

Expedition

However work stopped me getting home until after 7, so I just jumped onto the train instead of going home first, and ten minutes later was in beautiful downtown Patterton! Reached the location at 7:40 pm local time and got the next (same) train back home.
