Could be a plan mate....

I didn't realise how far it was away so I'd better get saving for the petrol.

post up your postcodes lads and we can arrange a national meeting point for all of us...lol

Zollo
18-07-2005, 09:29
Sounds like a plan, I'm in :D

If we're all going to be heading up to Birmingham, perhaps we should meet on the M40? There's a service just off the M40 on the A43 (road to Silverstone), perhaps there?

Zollo
18-07-2005, 09:30
Oh, and post code..... SO15 1JA.

Sounds good zollo :)

Can we have a quick spin on the circut at Silverstone whilst were there?

:wink:

Zollo

I don't think my car is gonna be capable of wheezing its way across the midlands and Wales, to spend a day of tomfoolery on track, and then go all the way back again, as it is! :P


What time are you all thinking of going up by the way?

northy
19-07-2005, 08:42
hopefull we are leaving lynn services at 7ish....and i expect its a 2hour drive to get there.

gaz - can you organise some meeting points...

Jan
19-07-2005, 08:50
Shall we meet @ the M40 / a43 junction services around 6pm?

Zollo
19-07-2005, 09:22
According to the AA site, that means we'll be at Ty Croes at 11pm Jan. :shock: I'm alright with that if everyone else is? :)

Zollo
19-07-2005, 09:30
Shit a brick :shock: . According to route planner Southampton, via Silverstone, to Ty Croes is 588.5 miles. Reckon on 10 hours and 17 mins :shock:

Zollo
19-07-2005, 09:37
No, scrap that. Wrong Silverstone :P

From Silverstone to Ty Croes, it'll be four hours. Six hours in total for me. Phew, that's better :D

Jan
19-07-2005, 09:53
LOL - so are we happy to meet there @ 6 or shall we make it earlier?

GazTwo
19-07-2005, 10:15
I'm planning on getting everyone else there for 9pm at the latest....will give us about an hours worth of light to get set up.....any late comers we'll have plenty of headlights and people to help set tents up.... :D

GazTwo
19-07-2005, 10:40
From Zollo's postcode to Ty Croes it's showing 285 miles.....if u want to meet with us at Lymm Services it would mean u doing approx 25 miles extra to carry on up the M6 instead of going on the M54 and A5.

SO15 1JA(Zollo's) to LL62 5LP(Ty Croes) - http://www.multimap.com/map/aproute.cgi?qs=q&starttime=10%3A28&client=public&itineraryxylist=440868%2C112205%3B238583%2C367476&desc1=SO15+1JA&desc2=&lang=&rn=GB&rt=route.htm

SO15 1JA via WA13 0SP(Lymm Services) to LL62 5LP - http://www.multimap.com/map/aproute.cgi?qs=q&starttime=10%3A21&client=public&itineraryxylist=440868%2C112205%3B366477%2C384809% 3B238583%2C367476&desc1=SO15+1JA&desc2=&lang=&rn=GB&rt=route.htm

Otherwise if u go the M54/A5 route we don't meet up till we near as dam it on Anglesey so might aswell just meet at the circuit instead of finding a meeting point in unknown territory.

Let me know what u think guys

Cheers, Gaz.

I think it's easier if the SE lot do a meet near silverstone as planned and then go up together, and you boys do a seperate meet and we'll meet you at Ty Croes :D

So, SE meet:

6pm at M40 / a43 junction?

Or shall we meet @ 5pm?

GazTwo
19-07-2005, 11:03
Ok mate no probs....just thought u may want to drive over in a proper 20 odd convoy instead off your piss poor 4 car convoy..... :wink:

Any probs u should all have my mobile number.

Zollo
19-07-2005, 11:04
lol, thanks Gaz. And anyway, it'll be five cars with my mates included :wink:

Yeah, would probably be a better idea to meet at Ty Croes, cos if you lot are meeting at Lymm at 7pm, we're gonna have to leave Silverstone 5pm at the latest. May be a problem for some people leaving work later?

Depends what time people can make the Silverstone meet? Me and Cliff can make 5pm.

GazTwo
19-07-2005, 11:12
Jan was off work I think on the Thursday and Scouse Matt is a lay about.....will probably still be in bed at 4pm!!!!

Then again he's gonna be a busy guy over the next week after all this talk over the weekend...we're gonna be amazed by 0087!!!

Not got a clue where it is, although it'll be somewhere on the net I'd have thought. If you can though, try n get it from them. Would be good to do that on Saturday morning 8)

I think we should try to meet about 4pm ish so we can make it with time to spare.

I'm travelling up from Brackhell with arj256 on the M40 so let me know who wants to meet at the services?

J12 / M6 @ 6pm meeting: Does anyone know where we can meet near this junction?

northy
26-07-2005, 08:53

Looks like I'll be coming in a convoy of 1. :cry:

The Evo triangle needs to be attacked very early in the morning for it be any fun. Before the rest of the traffic and speed cameras are out.

I prefer the tricky mountain roads in Mid Wales anyway.

northy
26-07-2005, 09:24
well u can take us out for a drive friday night mark :wink:

Jan
26-07-2005, 09:34

I'm going to be pushed for time as it is on Thursday mate. So long as we make sure we actually leave at 5, we should be ok.

J12 / M6 @ 6pm meeting: Does anyone know where we can meet near this junction?

Not a clue. Apparently Jnct 12 is right on top of a reservoir though :) . Once off the M6, take the A5 to Telford (NOT to Cannock) and find the best place to stop just off the road. If everyone does that, we'll spot each other easily. I'll give you a buzz when we come off the junction anyway Jan.

Have saved your's and Matt's numbers in my phone just incase :D

Jan
27-07-2005, 08:54
Spot on :)
