    Re: CONVOY: East, south east & the A11 - Friday mid-day.

    I'm going to be travelling to Blyton on the Friday lunchtime but will be towing (S)T-Cup with the Mondeo from St Neots straight up the A1 to Blyton.

    Would love to join in on a convoy but won't be able to go any faster than 50mph as i'm towing

    Me Big Dan and Bod should be heading up this way to meet all you guys and there towing too so you won't be alone if it works out. . Think you so use the 11 for towing not the mondeo

    Just to add, if anyone is interested in meeting on route as well, can stop off at Stansted services, as was just going to make my way up at a slow pace to there during friday. Might try and meet up further up route, but dont know what time heading off yet.

    Dale, by the time the French contingent are with us at Lakeside I imagine we'll be cruising past Stansted Birchanger about 1pm latest. Personally I'd like to get some miles under the belt and get away from the Essex area ASAP, we could stop for a breather on the A14 or the 1st services on the A1M or A1?

    OK - looking at the threads on here, the best place for me to meet up with you guys is along the A1 near Peterborough any ETA's on that at this moment?

    Andy, a rough guesstimate but we should be hitting the A14-A1M about 14:00-14:30 latest. Below are rough times we should be at these points obviously subject to change traffic dependant. It all might run smoothly and be ahead.

    Dover 10:20
    Lakeside 11:45
    Stansted 12:30-12:45
    A14 13:30-13:45

    As soon as Romain and the other French people arrive at the Lakeside services we'll be doing the off, the minute we leave ill post an update on this thread. I have Dales number and think I have Loggs so I can let them know of our locations en route.

    No stopping at Stansted, the first stop should be Peterborough A1(M) can't be doing with stopping every 20-30 miles

    Sounds good for me, what I will look at doing is heading into the services, and when you are just coming up to the junction will give a quick ring and I will start heading my way onto the M11

    True but the one with the turbo isn't fully mapped so can't be thrashed properly round the track :/

    And in a strange twist of fate, Fluffy has died and I can't see a way of getting her sorted before next week, so I might as well just jolly well....... well I don't know what, but FFS this happened last year aswell. the 1st 8 national days went without a hitch.

    Oli - lend me your 11, drive yours there and we'll say nowt more about it.


    Don't go on about it on this thread - I'll start another!

    Re: CONVOY: East, south east & the A11 - Friday mid-day.

    Ok, so a little over 24hrs to go people so I thought I'd to a full timing schedule, postcodes for meeting points in 1 post so it's clear for all people to see, copy/paste etc.

    So it all starts of in Dover with the French contingent arriving on British soil approx 10:30am

    All being ok they'll be leaving Dover at that time to head up to the Lakeside services to meet me and Dave Reed. We won't be be leaving Lakeside until Romain, Bruno etc arrive so the timings start from there.

    Dale Jarvis (Bigfoot) will be at Birchanger Services on the M11, we won't be stopping but more Dale merging with us en route northbound M11 so I guess people are more than welcome to be there if they're nearby.

    All timings are subject to slight change based on traffic flow, roadworks, accidents I think I've allowed enough time to make each point.

    10:20 Dover
    11:45 -12:00 Lakeside Services
    12:30 - 12:45 Stansted M11
    M11/A14 junction 13:30 - 13:45
    A1M Junction 17 Shell Services 14:30 - 14:45

    Lakeside Services - RM16 3BG

    Peterborough Services Junction 17 A1(M)

    Wrong place Romil. We said from the start Toby is no good as many have trailers.
