National Meet 3rd of August - Convoy from South East...?

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

As per the subject I thought it might be a good idea to create the topic to see who's up for this...

 

I'm planning to leave around 6.00am on Sunday 3rd and I know there are few who are interested in doing the same.

 

Please add your name inc. the rought location where you live. Once we have the list we can work out the times and meeting points... :)

 

This is the route I'm planning to take:

  • I'll be waiting at J28 a bit before 4pm, just pull in there if you want to stop. V power.   Then we just need to pick the others up along the M11 somewhere.

  • I'm going up on the Saturday and camping on site

    Sounds like a plan... do like the idea of easy drive up on Saturday though... no pressure leisurely cruise.... have a few drinks night before with bbq and then head over in the morning.

Fair Play Charlie. What time are you planning to leave...?

1. Slotty - I live close to the Bluewater Shopping Center (Kent)

2. BossFox - near Chelmsford (Essex) - will join at J28 on M25.

Will that leave you enough time to sign in for the track time Richard?

We'll be leaving at around 3pm on the Saturday so will get to the m25 around 4pm

Will that leave you enough time to sign in for the track time Richard?

 

No idea, didn't consider it...

Spotty might have same issue might he?

Edit I'm sorry Slotty blame the auto correct on my iPad! :(

I'm not going on track...can't afford two track days in one Month... :no:

Ohh sorry must have got mixed up with How Fast

No idea, didn't consider it...

That's why I thought I'd go up on the Saturday. I can swap to my track tyres the Saturday evening. Also won't need a really early morning. If the briefing was at 8 I would have to be on the road before 4am

I'm going to see how it goes on this... may go up on the Saturday however also would be interested in the convoy on Sunday morning... See how it all goes this month on finances.

I was going to go on track but I've a family do the night before so cannot get up there and stay over night on Staurday. And for sure I'd never get up early enough to get to the sigh on time (I say me I mean the other half).

 

I'll be there but probably not until later in the day.

Driver brief is at 9am

Driver brief is at 9am

 

Hmm...   160 miles.

 

Being realistic and allowing a bit of spare time I'm going to have to set off at 5:45 at the latest I feel.

 

That's going to be one LONG day.

So is Richard above or Below you? If below leave when he comes past if above then just drive briskly ;)

Google maps says 3 hours and 30 mins (170 miles) but as I'm not going on track I don't really need to be there for 9.00am but on the other hand I don't want to drive on my own and secondly I'd love to have a passenger lap with someone if poss...;)

I'm starting to agree.

Anyone up for a Saturday convoy up there? I did see some posts on where to stay and recommendations. Bearing in mind I'd like my car to still be their and in one piece in the morning. :)

I'm up for that. If we don't sort out a convoy my and my mate in his octy are going to have a two car convoy and have another member joining further up the A1 in a fabia.

The convoy behind Richard last year was pretty good.

What route are people taking?
