gobbo · 4 Jun 2006 at 16:44

I'll be heading from Sheffield, so anyone heading M1 south (Leeds/Sheff/Notts etc), then M42, then M5. Any one want to suggest a meeting point thats in this general direction gimmie a shout!

NW convoy, RiPz

though it's a rather complicated situation

IF my car is ready i'll be convoying in it.. it its not i'll be riding shotgun with rG-Tom, but i'm sure we'll be convoying anyway - have to ask him first though, i'll probably see him later today ;p

Gobbo, I will be setting off from Sheffield about 7:30 ish. If I remember from last year I set off at 7 ish and got there just after 8am.

I'll meet you outside your house if you like?

Any chance of meeting the NW convoy but lower down the M6?

Certainly possible, have you looked at the route we are taking? If you know of a services at some point around where you join, we can stop off there.

Anyone going from Milton Keynes area and are going M1/M25 way? I'd rather get lost with someone else than on my own

That might be an idea - however I think mileage wise it's a lot quicker going M40-A40-M5-Tewksbury?

Thoughts from the Southern front?

Sounds good to me

. Where are starting from?

saitrix · 4 Jun 2006 at 18:20

paradigm,

How about the services at J6 on the M5, as I am coming from the M42 way.

paradigm · 4 Jun 2006 at 18:23

You mean on the roundabout of J6? The Travel Lodge there?

saitrix · 4 Jun 2006 at 18:40

I think so, these ones.

NW Convoy

L0rdMike · 4 Jun 2006 at 18:58

TomTom and multi map reckon M4, A419, A417, M5 from Southampton.

But I am happy to go this way or Freefallers way.

You mean Chieveley?

Firestar_3x · 4 Jun 2006 at 19:43

Whos booking the pub so we can chow down?

-westy- · 4 Jun 2006 at 19:53

With regards to convoying, i'm not entirely sure where i'll be coming from - chances are it'll be from home, as agw_01 and possibly cymatty will be coming down the night before to stay at my place.

So i'm guessing we'd be going through Bristol, and up the M5.

I will never ever ever book a place for a RR meet outing as the numbers change right up to 9:30am on the day.

We always go to the severn springs hungry horse near the old powerstation site, its stupidly easy to get too from the tewkesbury site, is always empty on a saturday, and has a HUGE carpark, so works nicely
