I know that's very specific, but I'm gonna be setting off about mid day on the Friday. If anybody want's to participate in a good ol' convoy, stick your name down.
It will be best meeting at the Thickthorn services on the A11 / A47 junction right outside Norwich - say 1pm?

Can we meet somewhere ? Or it may not be your itinerary......
It's not too far out of the way, can't see why that would be a problem. I bet there will be a few more from the London massive coming from that direction also.
Monday morning bump.
BUMP
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
I also plan to arrive around 10 am with the ferry in Dover, I'll join you there if it's ok :D
As long as my 5 is on the road I will meet up with you lot too :) if the 5 ain't on the road might bring me Clio or kangoo lol ;)
I'll be there buh, be it 5 or 9
Oh the red 1 is positive and black 1 is negative, try not to mix them up ;)
Just been looking at my route and the iPhone gods have given 3 :)

I'll have a word with the local lads and see if we can try and meet up with you guys at Peterborough what time you think you'll be in that area for?
JP - Great - I'm sure the Spidey will be there - maybe not fully flying, but still there. It'll be great to see her back on the road. (Bring a tow rope BTW;))
Oli - When you said Red is positive and Black is negative, I thought you where talking about JP's car and Handy's car LOL, but then I remembered Handy's is no longer black :cartman: I've since marked up both terminals to avoid a :cartman::cartman::cartman: moment. Thanks for the reminder.:cooter:
Hi Logg - ATM I aim to be in that area about 2-3pm. If you chose route 2 we will be able to meet up at Peterborough. It all depends on time really. I'm lucky this year as I have some time owed to me at work so I'm able to take the day off.Quote:

So I guess for all the Surrey peeps, we meet at location"x" and leave at 12pm...
If there is anyone driving from down south up the M25, can you meet us at location "x" for just before 12pm, as that's when we are setting off :)
Logg - can you sort out location "x"? Mark suggested the crooked billet in Slough?
Location X is usually Toddington services for everyone isn,t it ?

I'm easy... Toddington Services is up the M1, that means using Route 1. If we are to stop in Peterborough, we will need to use Route 2.Quote:

Meet between 11:30am-12pm.
Set off @ 12pm - M4 towards M25, then north up the M25 following Route 2 on Logg's map.
OR meet at The Toby Carvery, follow Route 1, have a second meeting point at Toddington Services, then go across counrty to Peterborough.
I am going to stop off in Leicester for the night, so I maybe doing route 1 all the way. I can still meet up @ 12pm and follow you guys around the M25 ;)
French peeps/From Dover - Can you make it to SL3 8PS for 12pm?
Westside (Reading/Southampton/Cardiff?) - Can you guys get to SL3 8PS for 12pm?
The Toby car park is small and gets busy.
hopefully some late ones next week on the car!im trailoring so will not be going CROSS COUNTRY
There is only 3 of us meeting up... (so far)Quote:

A1 looks good for me,i can pick it up near me at Apex corner.
If i am attending nd, i will most likely try and meet up with the french guys...
I'm booking day off work too so can travel up during day too, as i'm further up than most of you i can do either Toddington or anywhere along the M40 if you do that route at all
I may be just in the van or have a certain 5 in tow too! ;)
Which means depending on how busy the roads are-Dartford Tunnel you'll be in Essex about half 11, could join you. My old man lives 15 miles away from Blyton and was thinking of heading up Thursday night, staying at his, then mooch up to the track.Quote:

i've just have a look to a Map i bought yesterday and we are suppose to take this way :
Dover (10:20 am) => A2/M2 to London
M25 to Brentwood
M11 to Cambridge
A14 to A1 to Peterborought
still lots of miles in A1 to Workshop
and then follow the GPS indicacion
if someone takes the same way we can join somewhere but please make it easier as posible for us as we do not know our country it'a quite difficult for use to find the place !!!
hope you understand
I'll be more than likely coming to this...
I'll be coming round the M25 the opposite way to you lot (surrey girls :D) So i could meet you all at the 1st services on the A1??
Bouns bit for me is, Ill just head to me mums as she only lives up the road from the event, so i'll kip in a nice comfortable bed and pop back on sat :D:D:D
Romain, this is the route i will be taking too. I can meet you on the M25 section before you arrive at the M11 junctionQuote:

Circa 3.5-4hr drive from Dover ferry port/Eurotunnel @ Folkstone if the traffic is good.
Me too.. Could we meet at the last services before the tolls Ricardo?Quote:

Where about are you leaving from?
I live near Benfleet in Essex, about 25 mins from Lakeside. If travelling alone i'd use the A127 london bound to the M25 but i'm happy to head london bound on the A13 and meet at the Esso services at lakeside. I was thinking that the french peeps can meet up at lakeside too.
I think you mean the Esso garage at the top of the hill just outside Dartford bang on the roundabout above the M25?
Yeah that's the one in dartford..Quote:

So to confirm I'd leave at the 1st exit to lakeside, at round about go towards the shopping centre 4th exit? Then the esso is 1st exit at the next roundabout (the 1 the buger van sits at) does that sound about right buddy?
Ye olde meet-up point :cry:Quote:

Stone's throw from my old/folks' digs.
Many a Southend, Pod, trackday event started from there :)
Tis indeed, i do believe we met there last October for the Nuburgring trip with Billy as co pilot at crazy o clock in the morning.Quote:

I also spoke to Phil (surrey guy) and he's up for meeting too :agree: Probably not at this location, but somewhere on route.
So to the French memebers that are coming from dover, a2/m2, M25 etc we will be at LAKSIDE SERVICES, this is located just after the Dartford crossing. Maybe we can try sort a map out for them..
I'll PM you my number so you can ring/txt me on the day should there be any set backs:agree:
Here's the link for the directions from Dartford crossing to Esso service station.. Hope this helps the French memebers.
