http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Baldock

Spokey, I don't know if you got my email and are still preparing but just in case not if you've got a suggested route on something like Google Maps and can give me a link please so I can transfer it to a paper copy (oh the shame of it)

Point of order, please:

THERE ARE NO FUEL STOPS EN-ROUTE. I generally take quieter, more rural roads, so please don't expect that there will be any fuel available en route. Therefore, PLEASE fill up when you get to Baldock services.

Also, can you please do so BEFORE coming into the services proper for breakfast or coffee. The lunch stop gets very busy and we have to make our sitting, so we will need to leave at 10AM sharp.

In order to get people out in groups, it's highly likely that the first group will actually be leaving at 09:50, so please make sure you are there in good time.

What time does 2nd leg finish (roughly)? Where's lunch and do you need to know for sure to confirm w/ pub?

you can put a can in my boot

And I've have well over a gallon in my spare can in the boot, you can buy the contents for £10, more if you're really running short

I had already confirmed with the pub before you indicated an interest, hence my assumption. smile Do you want me to add you?

Second leg finishes at about 4 or 5 ... depends on how long we spend at lunch, really.
