We'll be running a little later also as I need to work in the morning, so we might even catch up with you Steve :)
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 mondeoQuote:

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?Quote:

East coast massive - Oli, JP, Handy, Ross, Carlos, Markey B anyone intending making the convoy???
Yep count me in I'm game for anything :)
Yeah should be good for then, will speak to you sooner the time to get a better idea on whats happening time wise.Quote:

Sounds like a plan fella, I'll keep my eyes on this tread to coordinate properlyQuote:

This is looking like it's going to be a nice line up :)
Ricardo, I'll meet you around 11:45 at the lakeside services.. Anyone else meeting here? Maybe we can get a list of names and PM over phone numbers???

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 :ashamed:
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
It's OK for US :)
We leave the boat arount 10:30AM
So, the time to travel to lakeside services.... and we will there ! :D
EDIT : I try to find the services there : http://www.shell.co.uk/home/content/...ation_locator/
But don't find it ???
Could someone helps ?
Thanks a lot :)
Remember to drive slowly Bruno, your car is a WEAPON! ;)Quote:

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!:cry:
OK - the plan so far (for the eastern contingency) is (on the Friday) to meet up at 5 ways @ 11.00 am to rondezvous with the others at the A1/A14 at about 1.(can I have a contact number for the meet @ the A1 services please) That will be me JP, Handy and Oli.
TNT Ross and Mr raider will be joining us on Saturday.
Can't wait.
Fluffy is running sweet now.
I think we are looking to be at the shell services between 1330/1400 mate.
Cheers Logg, Me JP Handy and Oli will be meeting up with you at the services.Quote:

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 :ashamed: 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
