Southern National Meet Convoy - Saturday

[EmmaJ]

Hiya

I'll be driving up on Saturday morning (currently I've not got a set start time in mind but ideally not too early). Does anybody fancy tagging along and doing a convoy? I've not got a route planned either so I'm happy to go with the majority. I'm based in Reading so anybody local I can meet at the retail park just off the M4 Jct 12. Who's in?

[007 VXR]

Iam in will be leaving here about 12pm (ish)

In no big rush to get there so will have a couple of pit stops on the way, just want to arrive about 4pm

[VinceM]

I haven't thought that far ahead yet however I'm aiming to arrive around 5 ish. I have things to do in the morning and so will leave lunchtime ish.

[EmmaJ]

Bump

I'd suggest 007 and VinceM as you're both coming from Kent you can arrange to meet locally and convoy to Toddington Services on the M1 where I'll meet you both at say 2pm?

Then it's a steady cruise up the M1 and M18 and arrival time of approx 4:30 - 5PM. Unless we fancy avoiding the motorways and taking an A-road route...?

Sounds ok to me ... Vince ?

at mine for 11am ?

[VinceM]

Unfortunately I can't leave until later than that as I have stuff to do in the morning.

Also looking on Google maps, from where we are Mark, M25/M11/A14/A1 looks like a better route???

I'm happy to meet up, just it needs to be later - carry on without me if you want to get there earlier, sorry.

No worrys.
Dont ask me about the route

[MatrixXXx]

I would avoid the M1 there are 50mph sections very slow, the Al is a better route.

Oki doki

So then! How does 3pm at South Mimms suit everybody? I can do later if need be as long as I'm there for 7ish so I'm not eating too late.
