not sure who was going to be honest, cant recall anyone from monday saying they were going (apart from fwd and condor)
what about tonyrec? do you know he is heading up?

[white_van_man]

i will be going down sometime on friday but i will probably be going in the van so i will be going quite slowly!!!

[bigtone]

Currently waiting on a decision from MIL that she can look after the little one from Friday instead of Saturday, but should that all be confirmed, i'll be going over on Friday late afternoon/early evening from Hatfield, then over towards Leighton Buzzard, out the back towards Wwinslow and Buckingham to pick up the M40. Where are you guys heading over from, and do you fancy meeting up? I'm only in the Focus, but Full_Chat is going in his Chimaera too.

Cheers,

Tony

Funny you should say that :wink:

Might be taking rviant's fridge...and possibly a generator to keep the beers cold

Soemone has to have a boring car...with a large boot

[mxdi]

beleive it or not I think I may be succassful in fitting all our stuff in the car! sleeping bag, tent, pillows, mattress, cool box, stove, clothes, mattress blower upper thing, and more importantly beer

[bigtone]

I'm looking at a 5.30ish departure from Hatfield, then over towards LB for approx 6.15 i'd say. It may not be very quick, but there are some great twisties i'd be happy to map out for you if anyone wanted to disappear on ahead.

Space wise, i'm taking the Focus estate, but also gas cylinder, tent, kitchen, stove, chairs, sleeping bags, roll mats, cool box, beer, ramps, axle stands, jack, sockets, spanners, bog roll and anything else i'm sure will sit in the corner of the tent for the weekend, but if anyone has any serious issues with taking stuff, i'll gladly take it along for them.

Anyone up for the run then? I promise not to hang around too much though, the focus has surprised a few - great chassis on that car

[Hughesie2]

Depending on what time i pick up my car from the garage on Friday i may convoy up with you guys as well..

[Ballistic Banana]

So shall we meet LB way somewhere or MK??

[bigtone]

How about the main car park in the centre of LB (The one the LB run has started from in the past, I think you were there Di). It should be quiet at that time of day, and is easy to get to from wherever you're coming from.

From Bedford, head across to J13, over towards Apsley Guise, Woburn, Hockliffe (top road), straight over the A5 into town, as you get to the roundabout on the A4146, go straight over and the car park is on your left.

So who do we have - Full Chat, MXDi, BB, Hughsie, anyone else?

[bigtone]

I'm working in the morning so will be online, but if anyone wants to meet up and isn't around tomorrow, or for whatever reason, feel free to give me a call - 07969 078742.

See you all tomorrow!

Tony

I think Leighton Buzzard will be too far out of our way and I certainly couldnt get there for that time.
We were going to head up the M1 to J16 then go across Daventry way, so if thats the way you are going then let me know and we may be able to tie up.
