    Essex/ South East ND Convoy (FRIDAY)

    Ok, this is what i'm thinking of doing on the Friday for National Day at Mallory Park. Anyone thinking of tagging along feel free to add your name and comment on my proposed ideas/times etc

    I live in Southend, i'm looking at leaving at 1.30pm

    Southend - Mallory Park 157.3 miles, approx 3hrs 18mins

    Proposed route: A127, M25, M11, A14, M1.
    Mallory Park is off junction 21, M1

    Depart Southend 1.30pm
    Birchanger Services at Stansted between 2.15-2.30pm
    Cambridge Services approx 3.15- 3.30pm

    The AA website is saying from Cambridge services it's approx 1h 43m and 79 miles to Mallory Park, so if we're good with the times above it means (traffic depending) we should arrive at Mallory around the 5pm mark.


    I won't be hanging around too long at the meeting points as we can make good time to get to Mallory for the 5pm opening, so intended peeps make sure you have everything and you're fuelled up and ready to go

    Join in with us Steve, what's the problem with the end of the A14? As in the A14 hooking up with the M1. Maybe there's an alternative route coming off the A14 and working our way up to Mallory on the A-roads

    Shoppers, yay or nay to meeting up or is it a last minute decision?

    If not, Dale, i'll text you when i'm approaching the services so you can pull onto the M11. Can't see the point of me going right into the services to hook up with 1 person, i remember last time we stopped there it was proper packed

    Birchanger Green Services is located junction 8 on the M11, there is a petrol station on site which is Shell so if needed there should be Super Unleaded on the pumps.

    2pm is cool, we're aiming to be there no later than half past 2
