    So what are the plans with this people?

    Is anyone going down on the Friday night and camping?

    Are people instead meeting on the Saturday morning and camping on the Saturday night?

    Is anyone going to FCS on the Sunday?

    Questions questions

    Right, people who are heading down Friday morning - what time shall we meet up at Lymm services? 08:00 am say? (that said, I haven't actually looked at the route to Mallory Park yet?! )

    As said the gates open at 5ish, so I suggest the people heading down on Friday maybe meet at either Keele or Lymm services at 2pm. How's that sound?

    If we all leave at about 2pm we *should* be o.k. traffic wise as we'll be there before the rush hour starts That said we always end up getting lost on RTOC convoys!

    I think Keale services might be the best option for the NW meet, looking at the route it's a more direct meeting place.

    Gibbo, I'd be happy to hang back for you fella. No hassles leaving a bit later as we'd still get their for plenty of beers and time to pitch the tents etc. if you need to leave later count me in! might even persuade the rest of the crew to hang fire

    This threads getting a bit confusing!

    Right, people who are heading down on the FRIDAY. The meeting point will be Keele services at 2pm sharp. We'll gather there then head to Mallory as a convoy and hopefully arrive at 5ish when the gates are open. People local to me - we can meet up at The Little Chef in Eastham at 1pm. Any problems on the day sent me a text: 07801061938.

    FRIDAY:

    * Alex
    * Tony
