Portishead / West Bristol convoy to Cheddar?

[V8S]

Cheddar Gorge Meet 19th April

Gordano Services J19 at 9am
Meet in the main public car parking area. Whoever gets there first can pick a spot.

Excellent - subject to weather I'll be there with the Wetsfield Megablade.

[vetviper]

I'm coming from Cardiff, and don't know the gorge well, so a convey from N Bristol ish would be great for me
Cheers Rich

[MudSkipper]

Not a great idea as this is also a hotel. Might be best to stick with the Waitrose car park. As long as we all turn right as we come out of the car park no one will get stuck on the lights

[til9111]

Did we ever finalise anything for W Bristol convoy to Cheddar on 19th? Time/location?

[Yertis]

Time and location would be handy. How about Gordano services car park, handy for the west Bristol folk and the Portishead people.

That sounds handy, would 9ish be too early for people?
This might be a good place for others to join from Wales/Wiltshire etc.
If the weather is dry I've a feeling Cheddar is going to get quite busy

Love to join your convoy guys, Gordano services sounds good to me 9am would also be ok.

[V8S]

I've updated the main post now.

9am, Gordano services chaps.

[til9111]

Spot on - see you all there

[redbarron84]

Wouldn't mind joining up with you as well guys. It says it's an hour and 20 mins from where i'm coming from so will hopefully be there before 9.

So what do we have so far:

• TVR V8S
• Viper
• Monaro
• Westfield Megablade
• TVR 350i
• Civic Type R

And these will be joining us too...

• FTO
• BMW 328i

Quite a nice variety there.

You can also add Tvr chimaera 4.6 and a BMW M6 see you at gordano services 9am.

[MudSkipper]

Graham...Add boss to your list in his RS2 he'll meet us at Gordano. His mates not out to play tho

[Yertis]

Is there somone coming who is prepared to take the lead and take the convoy down to Cheddar?

(I'm not cut out for that kind of responsibility – I just want to follow)

[V8S]

You wuss!

I don't mind leading.

Is everyone ok with going to Leigh Woods then down through Backwell to Congresbury and across to Cheddar?

At Flax Bourton it looks easier to keep people together by turning left and then join the A370 by the slip road rather than the junction to the west of the village.

Here's the route map:

Google says 53 minutes but I'm sure we'll manage to beat that.

Hi chaps meet you at the services black lotus elise s1

[V8S]

Yertis - what are you bringing?

V8S said:

Yertis - what are you bringing?

Another Monaro I'm afraid. If it suddenly gets hot and sunny I might bring the TR6.

Bringing a Monaro is definitely not something to be afraid of. Unless you meant to write: "Another Monaro. I'm afraid!"

[Pacman44]

Was going to trundle down with LordGrover & others but I think he's leaving after the F1 GP. With the numbers planning to attend I've decided to leave sooner. So I'm looking to set off from Yate 8.15-8.30.
LG, will hopefully catch up with you later on. Gimme a bell!
V8S, would you kindly return me to the Gordano list?
