Convoy to PHSS 05/03/17 - Silverstone

[Craikeybaby]

As Chris isn't going, I'll volunteer to stand it and lead.

Meet at the Motorcycle Museum at 8:00, aiming to leave at 8:15.

1: Craikeybaby - MR2 Roadster

We won't be going down the A452 to Ballsall Common, as I saw signs saying the A429 would be closed near Hatton on the 5th, we'll go M42/M40 to Warwick, then get on the A429 there.

We'll be going straight on to the M42, so easier to catch up. The Toby does make sense for routes going down the A452 though.

Hey guys, heading down from J28 of the M1, maps is saying that the M1 is a pretty direct route but would be interested to join in the convoy, where is the bike museum? might be able to detour.

M42 J6, near Birmingham Airport.

[Craikeybaby]

Yes. Motorcycle museum at 8:00!

wow gone from 700 odd to 490!!

Not sure if i am going to join the convoy as bringing my lads - is the route across country or M42?

Both - M42/M40 to Warwick, then cross country to Silverstone.

We don't quite have the weather for that!

The weather had improved by the time I got on track, although I did get a soaking driving through a rain shower with the roof down on the way home.

The weather for the convoy was truly grim, especially on the M40, there was a lot of standing water - I wouldn't normally drive in the middle lane like that!
