As suggested by Jay - giving us enough time to get a route confirmed and meeting points, if necessary, agreed.

Assuming a 08:30 arrival target, it looks to be a good 1.5 hours from Chieveley Services however given a lot of the attendees for the MBW SS convoy were further North (Oxford) it may be a better idea to stage the initial meeting point elsewhere?

I guess that we'll be using route similar to the following?

1) Heading up the A34 to the M40
2) Exiting the M40 at J10 onto the A43
3) Driving the A43 through Towcester and up to Northampton
4) Picking up the A45 towards Wellingborough
5) Exiting the A45 at J11
6) Final run through Wollaston to Santa Pod

ETA: Thanks for the title change mods.

I'm in the same position Simon i.e. I won't be booking myself in to race down the strip however I am interested in attending as I've never been before.

Shall we set the meeting point as Peartree Services then? It's 1 hour, 10 minutes from there so 07:30 meet?

Nightmare.

I'm going to be a complete wimp and opt out for tomorrow. After a lengthy pub visit, I'm now not legal to drive until midday tomorrow (3rd) so am unable to attend.

Sorry guys.

Stupid me.
