To save cluttering up Steve's thread for the SE boys...

We're coming up from New Forest way, so probably M27 -> M3 (briefly) -> A34 -> A43

Aiming to arrive 5 minutes before the SE convoy so we beat them to the biscuits... smile

Anyone else?

I'll either be in with Steve or I'll be in the Merc. But we will be coming that way. Could meet at Sutton Scotney services as I never miss a Saudage and egg Mcmuffin opportunitysmile

All being well will be coming from Banbury so can try and catch any convoys passing up the A43 or similar smile

Hopefully it'll be in the Noble not the S3!

Chris and I'd be backtracking a fair bit if we met at the Sutton Scotney services, could we meet in say Newbury or similar?

Ok, how about meeting at Chieveley Services?

Google reckons it's 1hr 40m from there to Bruntingthorpe; so meet at Chievely at 08:00, time for a quick splash'n'dash and then depart by 08:20 for 10:00 / biscuit'o'clock at B?

Sound like a plan? Martin - you good with that?

Sounds good to me although I might still stop at Sutton Scotney for my Mc Muffin. Lol

Ok, here's the plan...

Optional Mac-Stop at Sutton Scotney, A34, 07:15ish for 07:35 depart
mgbond (maybe)
Dave2p (maybe - if we're making good time/get up early enough)

Main Meeting Point - Chieveley Services, A34, 08:00 for 08:20 depart
mgbond

Quote and add yourself if you think you can make it... we'll be "making progress, sensibly" as I've seen the gentlemen of the law at work early doors on the A34 several times... smile

Not pinching anyone's squadrons, just offering another meet point for Kent/Surrey/Hampshire/Berkshire etc. point) as I had posted on the FB site so you are welcome to join us if you would like:-

This Shell garage has a lot of space and is not too far off the beaten track for M3/A3/M25.

M25 Junc.11, (Shell - Guildford Road Ottershaw, Chertsey KT16 0NZ) about 2 miles in towards Woking just off the roundabout on the A320 opposite Ottershaw Honda

If you are coming up the M3, get off at the Woking turnoff (Junction 3) and come through Chobham

Meet at 7:30-8:10am to allow for any mishaps and latecomers

Ian (Green 3r - 9 LSD)

BTW - Don't put your name down, just turn up on time smile

That's not too bad, as I only work around the corner, but I think the guys coming up from New Forest, etc, will be backtracking quite a bit.....
