Yeah we need to get something sorted, one thing to consider is Hindhead tunnel will be closed on the way up, but open on return.

Normally we meet on the M27. If it's closed northbound at Hindhead, should we meet on the M3 then?

I'm driving up from Cornwall (A303 / M3) and would be up for hooking up with folk if possible?

Hindhead tunnel is due to reopen at 09.00, is it worth considering a delayed arrival at MBW to await reopen as the diversion is not good by all accounts

No, you've seen the parking at MBW. It fills quickly. Probably best to arrive earlier rather than later.

Coming up from Brighton myself, don't suppose anyone else around the area wants to convoy?

Im swaying toward M3 on the way up and Hindhead on the return but if the masses want fast sweepers then I could be persuaded.

Think i'll do the diversion route as Winchester and M3 is a bit out of the way for me, never know tunnel might open earlier.

Hi guys, I was just pondering organising a little hoon to get us there... Shame about the tunnel on the way up. In case I forget to mention it, watch out for a camera van on the A3 near the M25 if we go that way.

This will be my first hoon in my new car which is very appropriate for this SS smile To give you a clue... my two Mercs have 1,014 bhp between them driving

Can I suggest we meet at Hedge End as usual... and that we don't openly speculate about the route we may take wink
