Convoy to Pistonfest

[paddy27]

Thought i would start a thread nice and early to see how many were going from up this neck of the woods and see about creating a nice convey to get there.
The girlfriend and me are going. Promised her drink and music!
Anybody else fancy driving downin a group??

Think you may be right BG, could be difficult.

I was thinking of Saturday morning as well. Can't do the Friday as the g/f wants to go down the pub.
Any idea of which way you will be going to get there??

Paddy

[paddy27]

I will hopefully join in with you lot on the way down, well thats the plan.

Paddy

Right, after a discussion last night at the pub, we are thinking Saturday, 10 am Leicester Forest East on the M1, not sure which junction number, maybe someone else knows?

Any other options or is that ok??

Regards

Paddy

Looks like one hell of an intersting convoy.

Should be a fun drive down.

Paddy

[Paddy27]

Right, i've been thinking on my day off, i have access to half a dozen or so 2 way radio's, good idea to use on the way down or not??
The services are J22 arn't they??

Right back to the bottle of red.

It came from Starkholmes the other week, thought it would not be to far off the route for any one person.
If you've got any other ideas of a place let us know, that was just the first one that came to mind and looks kinda ok on a map.

M1-A14-A11 might be easy, but dull. Any ideas for a more interesting route?

Any suggestions on how best to fit tent, clothes, beer, sleeping bags and two people into a Caterham?

Just bring beer??

Paddy

[Paddy27]

Sounds good to me. G/f will like that, means an extra hour in bed for her.
Any idea on how bad/good the traffic will be??

Paddy

[Paddy27]

Looking forward to it now.
Should be a laugh

Paddy

[paddy27]
