    Re: Whos going from NW

    Our normal place of meet is the Truck Stop services on the M6 J20 (a50) just south after Thelwall bridge... There is a Mac Ds here and we meet on that carpark.

    We dont have set time arrange as neither of us on the track so we dont need to be there for 8am for the brief.. But we will be leaving early in the morning, our traveling speed ermmmm unknown we can take it steady...

    Me and si are gonna have to go earlier due to being on track. Was thinking of a half five start. Even when I book a day of work I still end up getting up at the same time.

    Re: Whos going from NW

    OK, we could do with a list of all those that are traveling down on Saturday morning.

    2 options we have:

    1/ Set off a little later, travel down on our own.

    2/ Set of quite early and try and join the convoy further down, in brum or where ever.
