The Saturday Convoy

[gemini]

should we organise a Sat convoy from the North East down to PF - collecting others on the way?

Im in North Yorks so is there anyone further North going thats heading down the A1?

I think the route will be A1 / M1 etc

If there is someone further north on that route drop a line as we can then judge times

before 12 noon sounds good
so 8am start from boro?

8.45am A1 exit 47 junc with a59 (pick up NY bunch)
and those meeting early at Scotch corner?

Woolley Edge Services south bound M1 for 9.30am (for WY bunch)

autoroute claims 2 hrs from there (and thats not silly speeds! )

So we could arrive around 11.30 am ish?
depending on any more collection points

Hows that sound?

anyone else?

[gemini]

come along the a59 a bit further and park on the bridge over the a1

[gemini]

we could also stop at donington services for any one midlands way?

[gemini]

see 4 or 5 posts up!

[gemini]

So early doors at Scotch Corner and Mboro - converging on junc A59 and A1 - park on bridge
Yorks lot meet.

- then down to Wolley Edge to meet West Yorks

Then Donnington

Then?

Any more takers
if not next Stop Piston Fest - Yahoo -

[gemini]

[gemini]

So - here goes

Scotch ? Mboro

A1 / A59 on bridge for 8.45am

Woolley Edge for 9.30am

Donnington for 10.30am

Junc 1 M69 for 11.05am

All this with no roadworks -
