[Trevmk3]

you should be allowed to come through to the stand yeah, there are cars moving around the stands to the strip and back all day so i wouldnt see it as a problem. be warned though entry will be busy on the sunday morning so i would aim to get there for a touch earlier

[baz105e]

if im right the route that takes you through BELLEND is the long way round (lots of A roads)if you go streight down the m1 to j15a then its a45/46 for bout 30 miles n ur just about there

[Trevmk3]

You're right. That's the way I used to go until I found the more direct route.

 

Guys, I'm going on holiday tomorrow for a week, so someone will have to plan this in my absence.

 

Generally, we first meet up at Woolley Edge, and then stop at every services on the way down.

 

So, Woolley Edge at around 12.

 

Then down to Woodall (12:30 to 12:45).

 

Next, Tibshelf. (1 - 1:15)

 

Then meet the guys who came down the M6 at Watford Gap (15:00)

 

What other services do we need to meet anyone at? Post it here.

[antz]

Im sure its usually around 12 we need at woodall. Either way its fine by me

[ZetecVan 2.0]

Im sure its usually around 12 we need at woodall. Either way its fine by me

 

Ok, shall we move everything forward an hour so we meet at 11 at Woolley Edge

 

I'm coming down with the guy I posted about the other week with the low mileage 1.3 Ghia, and his mate who has a German Fire Service Mk1 Tranny so he said he'd struggle to go over 50, so it's going to be a nice relaxing drive.

 

Antz, I've still got your number. I don't know if you've got my new one, so I'll send you a text, Along with you Graeme. Anyone else who wants to swap numbers, just drop me a PM.

[antz]

no problem mate. I think i have your old number.

 

A nice relaxing drive is fine by me. Last year I was behind smudger in his angrybox tootling down the motorway at about 55mph

So how about:

 

So, Woolley Edge at around 11.

 

Then down to Woodall (11:30 to 11:45).

 

Next, Tibshelf. (12 - 12:15)
