I think we should all meet up somewhere so that we arrive together. Kevin it's your part of the world can you suggest a place on the A11 ??

The Duxford Airshow looks interesting and as yet we do not have a date but if anyone not going on Saturday would like me to put their name down for it let me know.

I think the best place to meet will be at the services on the roundabout at the end of the A11. This is only a few miles from Lakenheath and I would think that everyone going would need to pass this?

Junction of the A11 and A1101/A1065 - 52°20'17.55"N, 0°32'5.99"E (Google Earth)

I guess we just need to decide a time - say 9:30am? Arrive at the base 10am?

That sounds ideal so 9.30am it is then.

The A11 drops down to a 50mph from NSL just before five ways roundabout and services. Its a popular scamera van location;)

Are the guys from the south meeting and cruising up together? I've just bought a new toy, it would be good to try it out!

[viper kev]

Anyone going to be passing juction 12 (Sandy? turn off) on the M11 at about 8.45on Saturday?

Let me know and I will join you for the trip down to Lakenheath

[neilsfishing]

I will be at work have a nice day all

[fatboy18]

See you all at 9:30 Dare I ask at this late hour, but are we all still going if its chucking it down with Rain? I plan to go Anti clockwise round the M25 and through the Dartford tunnel to the M11 Anybody comming from my way?

[Leatherman]

The forecast for tomorrow is dry and a sunny 17c at Lakenheath

[viper kev]

Mark,

See earlier post, I will be joining M11 at junction 12.

If you were to come off at Junction 12 I would be sitting at the top of the off ramp and then we can rejoin the M11. Just let me know what time you would expect to be there

Hi Kev, I think I see where you are on the map. But to be honnest that would be the wrong side of the triangle for me

I plan to come off the M11 at Jcton 9 then head up the A11 joinong the A14 They show it as Jcton 36 on my map Looks like it might be a double roundabout the A1303 also crosses the A14 at this point. I could meet you around there? Or it looks like theres a Little chef Just up the road on the A14 near Newmarket. I think Fish Boy might be with me as he is going to another event not too far away! ( He could fill himself with Buns )

I will be joining the M25 just before the tunnel. Then M11, A11. Jct 11 is after the A11 split

I will be trying out a new bullet cam I've bought for the German trip.

[fatboy18]

Game on What time do you plan to be near the tunnel

[Gixer]

should be at the tunnel between 8 and ten past. Guess we should meet before the tunnel so that we can make more noise. How well do you know the area around the tunnel? If you come off the M25 jct 2 (A2) and go straight over heading towards Dartford on the road that runs parallel to the 25. When you get to the roundabout at the top there is a petrol garage on the left - Esso from memory. We can drop straight back on the 25 from there

Dont forget to bring your passports
