Hiya,

Anybody fancy convoying up to the National meet? Happy to meet up with various people on route too smile

Looking at various routes from Reading:

M40, M42, M6 etc is circa 7 hours.
M4, M25, M1, M18, A1, M6 etc is circa 7.45 hours.

Where are people going to be joining? There isn't much in it so either option is fine with me.

I think either Toddington (M1) at 09:00 or Cherwell Valley (M40) at 09:30 seem reasonable as an initial Southern meeting point? Could also do South Mimms (M25/A1) at 0900 if there are people coming from Kent smile.

I'm meeting the Yorkshire men and 007 at Todhill Services just north of jnc 44 of the M6. It'll prob be around 1ish, depending on when they leave the north east.

Emma, if you guys from this end of England fancy a stop off at Keele Services (just after J15 M6), i'll gladly join the convoy. Keele has a Shell garage if anyone is using Bespoke shell vouchers.

Luckily I won't have to (I think), but it's been a difficult week- no doubt I'll be having a twine about it with you guys (and girls) wink

Ok done. Todhill services @ 13:30 is firmly added to the schedule.

Anybody want to meet up further south or am I going to be Billy no mates until the midlands?

I will also turn up at Todhill Services. Although, I will peel off just after Glasgow as I am staying at Loch Lomond. That's 11 cars I think.

Looking at Google maps, the best place to park at the services would be the Costa café car park (immediate left in the services).

Hi. I live at the southern end of Loch Lomond and will be driving through to Stirling Sunday morning to meet the rest. I don't know what time to be there. You could PM me if you want to pair up.
