I have already planned to be there also as a pleb and future builder Booked my Easy Jet flight to London Luton and will be arriving with my missus Saturday and leave on Monday. Will rent a car and drive up from the airport. Have local hotel reservation too. Looking very much forward on meeting the PHers on here and share a few drinks

See you soon!

I will be making the annual pilgrimage to 'the mother ship' to eat my own weight in sandwiches and sausage rolls etc. from the buffet if nothing else as I have worked out that eventually I can get all of the money that I have invested with the Marlow's in my car back. All I have to do now is figure out a way to reach the age of 156 years old ( Steve_D hasn't done to bad so far has he so there is at least some hope )

Is there anyone heading to Hinckley from the south east and wanting to join up in convoy en route, perhaps meeting up at a suitable service station?

Hi Nick. Me and Ditto (Keith) are going. We usually meet up just off J6 of the M25 (Godstone). We normally go M25/M1/A5 or M25/M40/A46/M69/A5 depending on roadworks!

Anyone in the north west wanting to meet up on route down... Im in cheshire and will be making the journey .... I usually run accross to Leek, Ashbourne, and down to towards Burton on trent as its mostly main roads rather than motorway, but open to suggestions if we get some cars together??

Hi Mike
Sounds good to me. Where at J6 would suit you? Would Clacket Lane be easier or does this involve you going in the wrong direction? Let me know time and place and I will see you there.

Hi Nick

We usually meet up at "Knights Garden Center" car park which is about 1/2 mile from J6 of the M25. After leaving the motorway take the first exit from the roundabout (A22). At the next roundabout take the first exit (A25) and the garden center is about 300 yards on the right. We normally leave at about 7am then stop for breakfast and fuel on route. The preferred route at the moment is M25/M1/A5. If you would prefer to meet up further along the route we are open to suggestions.

bks - I don't think I can make it this year as my eldest should be having his trials with Bournemouth!

I was looking forward to Wayne locking horns with Richard & Ted and watching him eat all their buffet! Get in early lads, you have been warned!!!

Hi everyone

I've been a long time Ultima fan, not seen one up close to be honest so will be making the trip down from Newcastle with my cousin to finally get the chance to have a nose around . If anyone is heading down the same route let me know and maybe we can meet up on the way.
