I suggest meeting by Wall Island (junction of A5/A5127/Toll Rd) at a well known restaurant chain(WS14 0QP) & this would offer several possible routes? Probably say 8-8.15 & head off by 8.30 depending on which route is preferred - we could also pick up any others on the way to the meet biggrin

Toll road or A5 gentlemen? Toll should be free of traffic at this time if we don't loiter too long over the MacDs @ Wall Island.
What do we think?

I don't think I'll be at this one so don't be waiting for me at the meet up point. Have a good one.

A bloody fortune for the bit you'll do (£5.50) Take the A5 towards Cannock then the A460 to junction 1 of the M54

Mr C & I definitely going. 2 mates of ours now doubtful. Weather forecast is much better than it was so it should be a good first opportunity to properly exercise the cars.

Thanks for organising the meet up smile

Great morning out guys. Particularly enjoyed the follow of the RX7 on the way back..he was a bit sideways around the traffic islands near Cannock!! Must have been the damp conditions!!
Must meet up again soon. Those of us doing Le Mans this year can look forward to the convoy south.
