Routeplanner says hour and a quarter from Warwick to Beaconsfield services to pick up Joe (anyone else?)so that should be about 10.30 and from there it reckons another two hours to Dover, so 12.30 ...... add on a bit for toilets, coffee etc. is everyone happy with that?

Guys - I'm on the same ferry and you,lll be coming past my house near junction 9 m25. It would be good to know when your coming through and I'll pick up the group. Beacons field is about 35-40 mins from me. The nearest services is cobham. Either that or could someone text when nearing junction 9. Would like to join the convoy down to Dover. Pete

Didn't want to look as if I'm "taking over" and it may be easier for someone in this group with a passenger to make phone calls to report on our progress and pick you up en route?

When I've done this trip down on my own in the past I like to stop at Clacket Lane for a ten minute break, presuming Warwick and Beaconsfield will be "flying stops"? Is Cobham new(ish), If ok with others and we're well on schedule perhaps we could take a break there?

Mike - Cobham is brand new (and massive) between Junction 10 and 9 (as anticlock). However if your leaving Beaconsfield at 10:30 its only 35 mins on to Cobham - so probably better sense for group to break at Clacket as per your previous. If i'm at Clacket for 11-11.15, that should time it about right to ensure I pick up the group? Sound reasonable? Pete

Sounds good to me Pete, everyone else ok with that?

Clacket is quite small as I recall, should be easier to find you...... although you should hear us coming smile

Cheers Guys - mucho appreciated. Would like to enjoy every mile possible with other S's (as I rarely see one)

I warn you now, if you thought you knew loud........ Julie has been given a weeks supply of earplugs. So be careful to keep me in the rear view mirror.
