daves16v 1 Posted May 14, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterfly 0 Posted May 14, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Sandiacre&daddr=Unknown+road+to:Brooklands+Museum,+Weybridge&hl=en&ll=52.382306,-0.186768&spn=3.641469,7.064209&sll=52.922824,-1.280894&sspn=0.014049,0.027595&geocode=FSOYJwMdQlXs_yl3P3yBJel5SDF0UoQvYYJDRw%3BFQe8GgMdM5b0_w%3BFambDwMdX-r4_yGaeUBiGMyWMA&oq=Sandiacre&mra=ls&t=m&z=7 ...how does that sound? It's a bit of an early start, I know! Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted May 15, 2012 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. Tempest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted May 15, 2012 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.

daves16v 1 Posted May 15, 2012 So M1 to Leicester, join M69 over to M40 and join us in Banbury for continued convoy south. Sounds good to me, everyone else ok with this? If so, where will we meet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted May 15, 2012 Cool loving the convoy getting bigger. Dave I have no idea where to meet as was going to follow Wendy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted May 15, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Lad 0 Posted May 15, 2012 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: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Sandiacre,+Derbyshire,+UK&daddr=OX16+4SZ+to:Brooklands+Museum,+Weybridge&hl=en&ll=52.140231,-0.961304&spn=1.830611,3.532104&sll=52.139505,-0.847325&sspn=1.830611,3.532104&geocode=FSOYJwMdQlXs_yl3P3yBJel5SDF0UoQvYYJDRw%3BFW-CGgMdnuvr_ykFz5omWiZ3SDHBDhuv9zBa6w%3BFambDwMdX-r4_yGaeUBiGMyWMA&mra=ls&t=m&z=8 Chris :geek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah, I'll probably head along the a43 through Silverstone to the m40, doesn't make much difference tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
