Well seeing as I'm definately not taking escRot with me, just the e30 with no trailer, I won't be limited to 60-65.
I will, however, be cruising at the pace of the slowest of the group (cruise control FTW).
I have a map of sorts at home, and I'll give the timing some more thought.
I will PM folks with my number closer to time.
Nath', what time are you toying with setting off?

Right then. The plan.
Friday 6th August.
12:00 (noon) -- Woolley Edge Services (South Bound)
I will be sat in Woolley Edge Services (between J39-J38 M1 southbound).
I will leave here at 12.30.
13:45 -- Services beside J23a (M1)
I'll be parked at the petrol station end of the big carpark.
I'll leave here at 14:00.
15:00 -- Hopwood Park Services J2 M42
Just a quick stop to make sure all is well. Maybe chuck come fuel in if needed.
I'll leave here at 15:15
Now, I can't see any reason why we can't blast straight through from there. Its about 115miles-ish/2 and half hours.
So ETA at the campsite of 18:00(ish)
The route from the last stop takes us down the M5, into Bristol on the M4/M32, out on the A37 which becomes the a371 which, in turn, runs past the campsite itself.
Does anyone think we should have another stop?

Would you be able to give me your number, as I make it that at 1pm you should be coming past j31 - ish. I could give you a bell on the day and to see where you are so we can join the convoy whilst your moving along the m1  |

If you fancy hooking up both M5/M6 and M42 convoys by J4 M5/J1 M42 youre welcome to pop in to mine for a cuppa. I'm at home all day Friday (I'm not coming down till Saturday AM for a reason....and I'm on the RR SW Stand for the same reason....all will be revealed ). Would give my neighbours something to talk about!!! ;D |
