It appears that there is indeed a fair few of us travelling down the M1 on Saturday.

Leaving Wooley Edge services at 11.15 (just south of J39 Wakefield) reaching Donnington Services about 12 noon to pick up anyone who cares to join us (suggest a spot please Lisa).

So far, the potential suspects are as follows.
Wooley Edge
Gemini (Rich) - Eastern blok supercar (+PenPS)
Burriana (al) - red Griff
Chim Girl - (Jo) - Tuscan
Mod500 (Martyn) - blue Chim
Rods (Rob) - T350 - tagging on around J31
Psycobert (Simon) - S3c - tagging on around J36
Ding (Liz) - red Griff (if it's ready fingers crossed)

Donnington
Mrs Fish (Lisa) - T350 (+Mr F)
Size13 (Richard) - red Lotus
Minimax - loony green Mini
Jamer (James&Mrs A) - Cerbera

Anyone else is welcome to join us, just let us know so we know to look out/wait for you.

See you Saturday

al.

Just a follow up from ages ago when people asked about fueling up, if you go to the moto services website and look for services, it tells you what fuel they have.

www.moto-way.com

Woolley Edge is esso premium, and Donnington has BP premium.

And... See you there

Ok, I'll get to J36 for about 11:15.. Gemini has my mobile number, someone buzz me when you leave the services and I'll make slow progress down the M1 until you catch me up..

Dave has just confirmed that the other red beastie should be fit so we will attempt to be at Wooley for the appointed time.
Not sure if we will use the Woodhead (Buriana which way you going?).

I don't know Donington services, so I can't suggest where really, how about closest to the entrance on the parking lot?

Am I right in thinking that to get to Donnington services you have to leave the M1 and travel up a short length of duel carraige-way? As I remember the car park is'nt that big, so finding you should be ok

Er, why not use Leicester Forest services?

Straight off the M1....Donnington Service Area is a right PITA to get to off the motorway IIRC.
