Top Cats convoy

[jamienshelly]

How about a decent convoy to Top Cats on the 31st. We could have 1 or 2 meeting points and arrive en-mass. We are travelling up the A/M23, M25 West then on to the M40. Any suggestions for meeting points etc are welcome.
Many thanks
Jamie

Beaconsfield services on the M40 ??

[Miner49er]

Beaconsfield Services is good for me too.

[jamienshelly]

Sounds good, Perhaps Peas Pottage on the M23, Cobham on the M25 and Beaconsfield on the M40?
Will work out timings later

[robw210]

Keep us all informed with your plans etc,would be good to arrive in a group .

I have been informed that the A41 is the easiest route there, Unless the majority want to meet at Beaconfield then I propose the McDonalds at Berkhampstead on the A41. I am completely unbiased as to what route to travel, so I shall leave it up to those who are more familiar with the area to decide

[robw210]

I'm not sure about the A41 being the easiest route , ok it is dual carriageway from the M25 , until Aylesbury , but that place can be a pita as you have to drive around it to get out the other side and on the A41 again , past Waddesdon manor and on to where Topcats is.
I went to Topcats about 4 weeks ago and drove up the M40 , off at the A329 junction , sorry I'm at work and can't remember the number . So A329 -- A418
towards Thame , then a bit of a cross country part to The Venture park .
This avoids Aylesbury and pops back onto the A41 close to our destination.

I am more than happy to go with the majority on this , but this us my idea.

I have added my email address in a post above so anyone can get in touch that way , maybe exchange mobile numbers would be a good idea .

Cheers
Rob

No worries Rob, As I said, I am not local at all, so I trust the people that are from that part of the world. I have never visited Top Cats before (although have promised Charlotte many times to visit )
So the M40 seems like the better option as easy to rejoin in the right direction from the meeting point and no fighting through towns. I will PM you aswell tomorrow and post timings, They will be rough timings as spirited driving may mean we arrive a few seconds early
Many thanks

Farnham Common (just south of Beaconsfield).

[Miner49er]

Personally, I'd rather head up there on some interesting roads as opposed to the M40/A41.

Saying that, I'm happy to go with the majority, as I'll do the return journey cross-country anyway.

Im happy to go with your plans on this , as it looks like you have the furthest to travel .
It would be good to have time at the services to grab a coffee and introduce ourselves etc .

I'm coming from North London. If instead of going up the A41, I headed for the M40, by the time I got to the M25/M40 junction, I could be at Aylesbury, or very close. So the M40 is not really a viable option for me.

[Jitstar]

So who's down for Beaconsfield Services and at what time?

Ajit

[masermartin]

M23 a bit far in the wrong direction for me, but I'm sure that if the convoy swings past Cobham it can pick up a blue GTA and lurid orange t350 on the way. Let us know times

[jamienshelly]

Hi all
Looks like no takers for Pease Pottage, so will aim to get to Cobham Services for around 7;15am then 30 minutes to Beaconsfield and then leave whenever we are all fed and watered.
Look forward to meeting everyone and having a great morning, hopefully the weather will play ball too.

[Stevejay]

Beaconsfield is good for me so see you there about 7.45 am

[robw210]

I will aim to arrive at Beaconsfield services for 07-45 .

I will be in the Jaguar XKR cab

Look forward to meeting you all.
