Leicestershire Meet - 26th September
Discussion
it looks like im not going to be able to make it now 
We have a heavy night on saturday, but if we feel bright and breezy, we may turn up. 
There are a couple of places close-ish to LFE where you can get Shell Optimax.
Closest to J21 is on the Narborough Rd.
Exit J21 Southbound and stay in the left lane taking the first exit under a bridge and the road loops around and over the bridge you just drove under. Go past Pizza Hut/Borders and get in the right hand lane ready to turn right at the big set of lights (probably signposted Narborough). Turn right then and on to a dual carriage. Half a mile you should see a Rover/MG garage on the left then come to a roundabout with a big pub on it - go straight across this (the r/about not the pub). Now follow this road for about 2 miles and you will find a shell station on the right. You will have done about 4 miles since leaving the M1.
CAUTION: Observe the speed limits here - van cameras in operation
If you are going North to Melton on the A46 there is one close to the M1/A46 link road on the A50. Exit M1/A46 link and join the A50 heading to Leicester (right) and about 3/4 mile on your right is a shell station. You will have to go past it and double back at the next roundabout due to the dual carriageway.
This may also help

Whats the timing for this, I know we are leaving at 12 but what is the ETA for Rutland please (we have to tie this in with Ikea opening times)
I have heard it all now!!!! We should be at Rutland by about 2 ish.
Another change of plan.... We will meet you all at the services then shoot off straight after that, else trying to cram it all in will be a nightmare.
