National Day - M1 Convoy South

Recommended Posts

Anyone up for a Southbound M1 convoy to the National Day?

 

Myself, G-Lad, and Laser Mark will be heading that way from J25/J26 area, could meet up at Trowell services.

 

Kip/Jude, I guess you will be heading that way?

 

Happy to meet further down too.

sorry guys. We are travelling down Sat night and staying near so as to be there very bright and early Sunday.

Might be up for a convoy home though... unless you need to push off before we are done & packed up.

Thanks Dave, can you tell that I got a bit side tracked ;)

 

Proposal:

07:30 - leave M1 Jct 25 (Sandiacre / Nottingham area)

08:40 - Arrive at Newport Pagnell services (between Jct 15 and 14)

08:50 - Leave Newport Pagnell services (hang around until 09:00 latest)

10:05 - Arrive Brooklands Museum

...how does that sound? It's a bit of an early start, I know!

Bear in mind the HUGE roadworks on the M1 (carriageway widening) running from MK to Luton, entire stretch littered with specs cameras set at 50mph.

So M1 to Leicester, join M69 over to M40 and join us in Banbury for continued convoy south.

Meet at Esso Garage in Banbury. OX16 4SZ

It is literally just off the M40 at Junction 11.

I reckon its 1 hour 30min to Brooklands or less dependant on our driving !!!

 

So 8.30 meet ? Let me know what you think.

Ok, seems like a good plan! How does the following look?

 

07:00 - Notts contingent head off from Daves16v's house

08:30 - Rendez vous at M40 Jct 11, Esso Garage in Banbury. OX16 4SZ

10:00 - Get to Brooklands in time for a cuppa and a bit of polishing.

 

Davewort, are you OK to meet at the M40 rendez vous location? It's a bit of a leap west..

 

Here's the mappage:

Yeah, I'll probably head along the a43 through Silverstone to the m40, doesn't make much difference tbh

I notice both sections on the map are 1 hour 24 minutes, just how coincidental is that ? !
