Anyone going Saturday AM from SW/London

[Gymnast]

Just wondered if anyone is going to Nat Day from round my way on the Saturday AM as I can't make the Fri night camping now

I'll be going from the A406 up the M1. If anyone wants to meet along the way I will probably be stopping for petrol at London Gateway Services (between J2 and J4 of M1). If I'm going to be on track that will be sometime around 6am!

If, for some reason, my car is not track ready then that time can be pushed back. Perhaps to meet up with the Southern lot on this thread https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=9079

Oh dear ... I'm glad I know where London is ... I meant to say SE

Can someone please change the title of this thread 'cos I'm a dumbass!

[Adam L]

I'll be heading up with Chris R on Saturday morning, from the SW but we're leaving quite early as we need to get there for the drivers briefing.

We won't be tracking either,

I will be if I can get some wheels/tyres for track and sort out this weird knocking sound at the rear of the car

[D4WNO]

Just ignore it, it'll be fine

I can't get to Mallory for 8am that means leaving around 5 am, my neighbours are going to love me enough starting the 5 early anyway
Spooky if you want to get there earlier that is fine by us matey we will meet and see you all @ Mallory anyways, if you don't get out of bed to get there earlier you still have the option to meet us lot.

[Spooky]

According to multimap it is 2hrs 56mins from me and I cant remember how long it took last year. But that's if we leave to get there for tracking briefing as not tracking nit want to get there to early but still want to see the cars on track and have a good look over ashys 5

[The new Bill J]

According to multimap it is 2hrs 56mins from me .....

Jeez. I swear it took me a lot less than that last year, towing. Maybe not, and my memory's getting like Mart's

near 3hrs driving like miss daisy...remember, you'll probably be gunning it on part of the route...i know i will be

im not going early anyway, 9am is on the money

[Adam L]

It took me 2 hours to get there last year, but that was in my Rover and my wing mirror flapping about was causing some serious aerodynamic disturbance, so I couldn't go full speed.

I guess we'll be leaving about 6 to get there for the drivers breifing.

[The new Bill J]

Go on Friday. Join in the fun

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

I am towing the cup car up on friday - if my airplane lands on time coming back from cyprus

Myself & charlotte are leaving ashford around 12-2pm on the friday and will do a steady 60mph.

[Mart]

Exactly. We only all get to meet up once in a blue moon, yet, at the moment, there seems to be a turn-out for Friday night.

Are you guys staying on the Saturday night as well?

In fact its 3hrs and 5mins from me RH13 5SG to LE9 7QE

[Spooky]

google maps says 2hr 47mins if you took the M1

[Andrew Cooke]

Friday and Saturday nights, I hate waking up in the wrong place...

assuming it's all done and running

[Mart]

Google maps is usually fairly generous with its distance duration, so I wouldn't rely too much on what it's quoting.

The easier solution would be to travel up on Friday then you haven't got the mad rush early doors Saturday morning...plus then you can join in the fun & games that night

[James5]

Bloody multimap, I will be going M23, M25 A217 into Sutton then back down A217 out on to M25 the all the way around to M1.

I wish I could go up the night before but the Mrs's is getting all moody so think I will stick with the early start on Sat,

So...if google is wrong, my TomTom is too...

Martin Dilley...FAIL!

[Gymnast]

Sweet ... well my original plan was to come for both nights, but that was scuppered by one of my mates, very inconveniently having a birthday on the Friday ... I mean, how rude!!!

Will make up for my Friday lack of attendance on the Sat night by performing my usual party trick of passing out halfway through the night as far away from where I'm meant to be as possible

[Mart]

You geeza.

Traffic permitting, and assuming you don't get lost (!), time yourself from when you leave your gaff to when you arrive at Mallory. Then marvel at the fact that you've made it there somewhat quicker than what Google/TomTom originally quoted.

Could this correlate to the fact that we don't always follow the speed limit ... once we get on our "private road" of course

[Mart]

Show me a convoy of rtoc'ers going to a given event, sticking to the speed limits all the way, and I'll show you a couple of hundred who don't...
