Reminds me of the convoy from here upto Wicksteed Park, we lost most people after half way because others were ****ing off left right and centre!
Usually when I'm on my own, I dont hang about. If I was in a convoy I would because a) people are not familiar and usually like the guidance and b) if people have other people to follow, they wont be so concerned about travelling 5miles and breaking down.
I can't wait for Saturday morning, looking forward to my drive up.

I'd get to Mallory well inside 2hrs under my own steam...:D
Sticking to the speed limits of course...

Re: Anyone going Saturday AM from SW/London
Adam/Dawn,
Do you want to meet at London Gateway at around 6? It's then about 30 minutes to Toddington where we can meet Ricardo.
It's then 1 hour 15 mins to Mallory Park (according to Google), so as long as we leave Toddington before 7am it shouldn't be a problem :)

Re: Anyone going Saturday AM from SW/London
I have no idea where any of that is so I'll let Adam reply when he finishes work tonight, lol

Re: Anyone going Saturday AM from SW/London
Chris (RinkyDink) pm'd me earlier, although I was meant to phone him to sort out Saturday.
We're leaving basically dead on 6 to get to Mallory for 8. We probably won't be stopping to get there in time for the drivers breifing, as me and Chris are both going on track.
The main reason Dawn and I aren't going on Friday is because I finish work too late to be setting up a tent in the dark.

Re: Anyone going Saturday AM from SW/London
Fair play, I'm going on track too so have to be at the briefing as well. What I'll probably do is get petrol at Toddington and meet up with Ricardo if he wants to.
It'd be cool if you can give me a bell when you're close to Toddington and I'll meet you en route. :cool:

Re: Anyone going Saturday AM from SW/London
Yea, no probs, Giles. Pm me your number as when I changed phones a few months back I lost half my numbers. I've still got Ric's if it ends in 704. I'll give him a shout and all.
