Big Bad Barn Bash --- Convoy.

[Balmoral Green]

Allegedly, some of us are meeting up mid/late Friday morning, and pootling along to the barn/pub, to be all settled in by early/mid afternoon.

Can we confirm the start venue, vicinity of Alderly Edge/Manchester, or services on the motorways around those parts?

Start time, and subsequent pick up points?

Add you name to the list, copy & paste.

BG & BG's bro'.
Minimax.

Assuming your taking M66, A56, M65 i could meet you guys somewhere near M65 junction 8. I am stuck in lecture until 12 but will hit the road immediately so should just be able to make it in time if you dordel about a tiny bit.

I think we were aiming to be in the pub for lunch time - 1:30 ish?

so 12:45 say we should be passing that point

Minimax, where and when am I linking up with you on Friday AM?

Your new gaff, or your office, at around 10.30-11.00am'ish ???

Should be an easy run to junction 8 of the M65 for a 12.45 rendezvous with soft lad.

Any others cutting-in en route?

Yes, that will be just fine.

What the hells going on in here then chaps? I think I am slightly misguided as to where I am going. I thought that this Bishopdale place was basically straight up from the good city that is Leeds. Now I hear talk of Manchester it would seem a bit silly to go that sort of route. I'm off to do some research on google and find out where the hell I'm going! I think the pain from being waxed this morning is getting to me!

[Polarbert]

Right, its 62 miles away, and google maps is taking me around the Yorkshire Dales. B-O-R-I-N-G

I take it you guys won't be going up the A1? Or will you? Will you be travelling past Leeds along the M62 at all?


Ta very mucho,


Ciao.
