Forth bridges if I can get there , it will be a matter of tracking ,   If I can not get there I will look on the web cams on the new forth crossing , I will have a look on marine traffic on Friday ,two tugs at the same speed and a set distance apart shoul be a good guide .
Thanks for the help
David

Prince of Wales' bridge departs Govan today at 1430 & passes Erskine at roughly 1520. Track its tug Strathdon at http://www.marinetraffic.com
