Is anyone from south wanting to tag along?

[Romil Davda]

I'm in mate.

What time are we heading off? Can you also put up a map?

Also have a Service Station we can stop at about half way, so others can catch up or meet us there (people coming across country or back roads).

If you can't do this, let me know and i will sort.

Well done, this convoy is your first proper RTOC event you have organised :rolleyes:

[casper]

Us northern folk can meet you guys en route at ferrybridge services on the m62.:agree
Thats if you go m1:confused:/m62?

Im in fella, are we going to meet say at bullmoors lane bp garage before we head off?

[StuHERTS]

Lol, funny you should say that,
that's what i had planned, was just gonna contact few others about the leaving time,
AA says over 3 hours but with stops its looking like 4+

This isn't gospel as yet, but my initial idea with maybe 2 stops on the way to meet up with others, stretch legs and let engines cool?
attached initial meeting point too?
Any comments/ideas welcome

Meet 2pm at McDonald’s Bullsmore lane Enfield EN1 4SE
Next door to BP Garage.

Head West on M25 to Jnc23 A1m (2:30)

Head North on A1/M to Jct 11/12 Toddington services arr 3:15
Stop 10-15 mins?

3:30 Head North on A1.

arr 4:30-4:45 Leicester Forest East services? 10 mins and go?

Head north, Exit A1 at Junction 21A and follow A46 to Newark on trent.

5:30-5:45 At Newark on trent,

Take A46 signposted “Lincoln”
then next left take A1133 A156 to Gainsborough.

A159 to Blyton.
Arr 6:30-6:45

Romil,
Who would be wanting to join up with us going up the M1 Friday afternoon?
Or A1?
leaving from Enfield we have...
1: StuHERTS
2: Wallace
3: Stuey T
4: Romil
5: Karl
6: Kai
?????????
the reason i ask is, people have joined up at Toddington in the past but is anyone planning on meeting us there?

I have attached 2 routes,
1: A1 route is 143 Miles, 3H 4 mins.
2: M1 route is 168 Miles, 3H 23 mins.

[Romil Davda]

Route 1 is what we did last year and route 2 is my usual drive up to Leicester...

I think the first would be better: less mileage/time.

So who is up for meeting us along the way? Where is a good place/service stations/MacDonalds to meet?

Stuart (newbie) - whats up with your fuel pump?

I think Peterborough services would be a good spot to stop/meeting point from links from East coast Northampton etc?

I can't pick my boy up from school until 1:45 so will be at maccy D'd about 2:10.
Wallace is going to meet us on A1.

[car.crash]

I think we are setting sail from heathrow around 1-2pm so we will probably cross paths on route if your using the M1
