It's time for another monster meet at Virginia Waters - there's one brewing for the day after the longest day! Went on Nov 12th 2006 and the trip up was better than the show

(also see PH.tv back catalogue)

So how about a convoy along A and B roads from the south - maybe hedge end area, A32 etc again?
If you've got useful advice, please post up, and if you're definitely up for it please get your name down on the main meet post too

Convoy list

I'm game. There are a number of factors which might stop me attending but I'd love to convoy up.

[Fantango]

Last I checked Virginia waters was closed off... I haven't driven past for a month though, would you like me to check?

Yes please mate, although there's a few VW local Phers on the main event list who are checking it out too. It has been open in the last few months, but can't confirm if it might have closed again. I'll be passing by on saturday

[Fantango]

Ok, that will probably be before me.
Just thought I'd give you a bit of forewarning

[LukeBird]

Oooh I like the sound of this!
I'd always wanted to make it to VW!
I'll have a check on the date...

[Fantango]

well I'd be up for coming, but not sure I have a suitable car

[Neil.D]

I will check my diary as it were! Sounds like fun...!

[ironictwist]

Count me in too

[Soton Pug]

Definatly fancy this if i can get it on the road in time!

[Gun]

I'm in, not been to this before, where does the convoy set off from??

[ara2312]

I'm in but will know for sure nearer the time, haven't been to one in a while.

May have to be a few convoys and start points - coming from south dorset, the convoy started to build last time from Rownhams M27 services before the main meet spot off M27, J8, Hedge End, to head up the back roads via Alton. Guess if some are over Worthing etc way, another trip might evolve from there. Will personally look into a route from Bournemouth, running near Salisbury this time...unless the Sotoners put a good one together!

Bah, dont let that stop you, i may turn up in my Astra for all i know at the mo

I'll be coming over from Eastbourne so will probably have to tag along half way or something, or maybe one going from Kent if there is one.

I'd imagine there'll be a Sussex lot convoying up there

last hot day? . . so went on an exploration mission yesterday . . . just 150 miles
got as far as Basingstoke. found some crap roads, some odd dead end roads, e.g. to Litchfield, and some big wide open empty roads - A33
possible route for the south dorsetters and sottoners??:

alternative start: A35 up through Lyndhurst? and A30 north of Basingstoke's all i know

[Thejimreaper]
