Re: ND CONVOY: NW Friday M53/M56
what route is being taken m62 m1 or woodhead then m1

Re: ND CONVOY: NW Friday M53/M56
I'm honestly not sure what route as I haven't looked at the planner yet :scared: I expect it'll be M56 a M6 though.....
-
Re: ND CONVOY: NW Friday M53/M56
alex once you have a route let us know. as it will save me back tracking. i had a quick look the other day on the best way there from stockport it was showing woodhead or chesterfield being about 75 is miles and m62 100 miles. all 3 routes show a 2 hour drive time

Re: ND CONVOY: NW Friday M53/M56
Are we better off heading towards sheffield rather than going right the way round? cuts 20 miles off and only adds 5 mins, i think id rather drive that route than sit on a motorway?
Via the A616

Re: CONVOY: NORTH-WEST Friday M53/M56
I'm easy what route we take as long as we don't take all day getting there - I want a BBQ and few beers! :D I've had a breif look on autoroute but as I say I'm easy.
Roy et al, where would be a convenient place to meet up with you? If I remember rightly we met you at a service station somewhere last year?

Re: CONVOY: NORTH-WEST Friday M53/M56

Re: CONVOY: NORTH-WEST Friday M53/M56
Right-o. For those travelling down on the Friday we'll meet at the Little Chef in Eastham near the M53 at 10:00 am.
Looking at the route on AA Route Planner we'll be heading onto the M56 then onto the M60 at J1. Then A57 until the A628. Then A616/A631

Im going to suggest this as a bad idea, in terms of kepping everybody together over the wood head etc (obviously depending on car going on thefriday i suggest the motorway) it might be quicker point to point, but in real terms theres more chance of getting stuck behind things going that way.
In my tanker driving motorway experience opinion

M62 m180 I reccons towards S****horpe. Might be longer in distance, but your gonna save on fuel and Its easier to convoy, plus time wise it's probably going to be quicker anyway as its a motorway.
Sat nav wise, I have an I phone. Sat navs are a die ing IMO.

Re: CONVOY: NORTH-WEST Friday M53/M56

Re: CONVOY: NORTH-WEST Friday M53/M56
