Is there a northern convoy down to BTAP

[sherman]

As there is 3 of us coming all the way down from Scotland about 350 miles for me and LHD and even more for GP is there a group meeting up and traveling down from somewhere northern that we could join to add to the experience?

[big dub]

Hats off for making down from Scotland! I'm not that Northern, I'm just south of Manchester

Depends whether you're doing the West Coast or the East Coast route?

[LHD]

Which route is quickest?

Convoy stands at:

Sherman - RX8
LHD - 735iSE
GP - ?

And if we're playing golf beforehand or not?

I would say it will be down the M6. so west side.

Of the country as opposed to going down the east and the M1.

I know.

I just wanted to post that picture

[sherman]

BUMP!!

Well is there or are the 3 scots going to have to travel down on there own?

[burriana]

Doesn't seem to be that many people going from the North West area. And there only seems to be me, Blueyonder and Chim Girl going down the M1.

Ahem...

[LHD]

Is going down the M1 the best bet then?

[sherman]

M6 is 6.5 hours for us or if we go down the M1 it is over 8.5 hours.

Ah.

M6 it is then.

take the m6 toll route, its far quicker. Just dont go under a gantry of what turned out to be ANPR cameras at an indicated 120 leptons, it makes you a bit worried! When I went down we met up with escargot and then met up with Mr Mullen and co. at a service station for the last stint, I cant remember where that was though but it was brilliant as about 10 cars pootered along the motorway at 70mph exactly (honest) all the way to the old hotel.

You decided to come then?

[sherman]

Just rechecked my timings and a meeting time of 9am at Abington services makes much more sense

Meet at abington services at 9am

Lunch at Tebay services 11.30am

Leave lunch stop about 12.30pm

Check in to hotel about 4pm
