Convoy to Pistonfest

[EmmaP]

I had overheard you talking about the convoy I'll get the map out later, but that sounds like a good enough reason. I was just thinking that services near Grantham might be better.

Hi Emma, I've just been looking on Google earth for the route. I'm assuming we are going M1-A14-A11, if so all but the last 5 miles are dual carriage way, so it looks a good run.dependig on which side on Nottingham you are it is'nt going to make a lot of difference to you. John

Clearly I haven't consulted a map recently I am in the city centre, so that sounds fine and dandy to me. Hopefully we will get some twisty action too

We could get them to play "rock around the clock" we can do the twist to that.

M1-A14-A11 might be easy, but dull. Any ideas for a more interesting route?

Any suggestions on how best to fit tent, clothes, beer, sleeping bags and two people into a Caterham?

Suggestion is to team up with the Yorkshire convoy at 11am'ish at LFE.

[Paddy27]

Sounds good to me. G/f will like that, means an extra hour in bed for her.
Any idea on how bad/good the traffic will be??

Only just spotted your post. Bill Haley's great. And I love to twist.

Should be a laugh
