minimax said: serpently - I dunno what time yet though - what do you suggest? We reckon Scotch Corner for 08.00 should give us ample time to reach the A1 / A59 junction to meet the others at 08.45 - does this sound about right to you? Jeff & Mairi

unfivetunately the mini has stopped working - something to do with the electrics. It means that I'll be in my westfield instead, and consequently I can't make scotch corner I'm afraid...I'll be joining at donington instead though so I'll catch up with you guys there?

W.Yorks gang ,but I'm sure afew more will turn up.
Just hope the rain holds off.

OK folks I've trawled through this thread and tried to add all the people who haven't responded so far and i've been through and emailed them so they can get a copy of the final list.

Anyone who wants a copy can mail me through my profile and I'll pitch it out Friday evening.

Waiting for him to reply to my email. From what I remember him saying in an email to minimax (this was about 3 weeks ago!) was that he will be waiting in a big car park near a hotel/pub just off the roundabout.

If I cant get hold of him before tomorrow i'll just peel off the convoy, zip into the car park and then catch you lot up.

[gemini]

thers a country club hotel shown left of exit roundabout on a5?

[robp]

NEWS!!!

Dontlift is no longer coming due to work commitments.

Does that mean we are no longer needing to stop on the M69?

Gemini, as you are the man with the route planning software does this change our plan?

[gemini]

yeh no stop at M69 ill ammend

[gb145]
