National mega meet-south wales convoy

[joe_vrs_tdi]

After talking on the mega meet thread http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262314-national-mega-meet-2013-july-28th/page__st__300#entry3226703 i thought it would be a good idea to try and sort out something on here for the best place and time to meet and leave to drive up together for the mega meet.

So guys all ideas welcome. We need to figure out the best place to meet, maybe a services roughly where we would all pass first on the way?

Fire away guys.

[joe_vrs_tdi]

My route will consist of a49-a40-m50

Dont mind rerouting if the majority are taking a different rout.

Joe,

Cardiff gate at j33? and then A449, M50...

[bowen]

I hadn't thought of going to this. Is it any good?

Yer i dont mind heading back to cardiff its not to far and more than likely in the middle of most.

Check out the thread lloyd it looks like it should be pretty good. I imagine the largest selection of skodas in the uk this year and should be a good chance to meet some of the guys we wouldn't come across at the shows down our way. Plus the museum looks pretty cool as i like all that stuff

I may attend this. I'm only from down the road from you joe. (Brynamwr if you know it)

I have been to this venue with cliosport.net, I'm no good with roads and service stations but I think we met in stensham services??

I don't know what is easier for most of the other boys ??

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Yer i know it mate. Would it be much effort to get to cardiff gate for you? Take the a470 from merthyr pretty much to the m4 isnt it? Not sure how long it takes though :S

[Guest]

No shouldn't be a problem mate.

[joe_vrs_tdi]

right then it is suppose to start from 8am. im pretty sure it is about a 2 hour drive but unsure from cardiff gate. what time would we all wont to meet for to head off in time?

[Welsh_kai_boy]

What is actually going to start at 8am? I was thinking of getting there about 9-9:30am. We would have to meet at 6am!

[stever750]

Gaydon is just under 2 hours from Cardiff on a Sunday morning. Been there many times visiting jag land rover

I think thats just a gate open sort of time just when people can start arriving from. If we say meet at 6am then leave about 6:30 just to give a half hour window for people to get there?

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Any more for this? Not to long left now.

[dainott]

I might well be going to this so il keep an eye on this thread and if I do then will be at cardiff gate. Take it ur meeting in the services?

[NathanG]

I really am half temped by this, its not too far away either. Seems like it would be a good day out.

[skodanorman]

What sort of speeds are you guys intending to do? I'm hoping to take my Rapid which likes to stay below 80 really.

Im normally a 60-70 man myself on mways and that time of morning im sure we can pretty much be at 70 the whole way.

[devonutopia]

Could the SW convoy hook up with this one? Where is the M50 junction in relation to the junction 9 for Stroud and the A46 east?

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Not 100% on the route yet jason but if looking at it the quickest way is to come over the bridge.

[devonutopia]

Probably. M50 is one junction north of the junction I'll be coming off.

If you do end up doing M5/M4, we could meet at the first services north of Bristol, which I think is Michael Wood about 15 miles north of the M5/M4 interchange.

[skodanorman]

Cool. I'm just going to sort my tickets now. I'll definitely be coming, be it in a rear engined Skoda or vRS.
