I'm not sure why or how I managed to take on setting this up, but apologies to anyone who can't make these meeting points. There are 3 and a bit points. The 'bit' being John355's lay by drive by, where he's gonna sit like a crafty copper waiting for us to come rolling by, then chase us down! This should be a lay by somewhere between Cambridge and Huntingdon. (I hope he's facing the right direction!).
I've attached 3 maps of the meeting points. The first is a lay by on the A21 near to Morleys Roundabout, Sevenoaks, Kent. (map 1). I'll be there at 7:00am to meet Ben (Jacksbike) and I believe Mark (wole0911). We're then going to hook up with Anthony (Hawkinsster) near Orpington, Kent (map 2) at 7:15am. Next stop is the Birchanger Green Services near Stansted Airport (map 3) at about 8:15am to meet Andy (andygtt) and others. This will be the 'fill and empty bladder' stop in anticipation of the final stretch to Bruntingthorpe. I've told John we're leaving Birchanger around 8:30/45 and to expect the 'peloton' to pass around 9:00/15.
Every time I go to Jetstream, my satnav takes me a different route, albeit the correct entrance! So someone who does know the route needs to let us know and be leading by the time we reach the end of the A14. Those meeting at points 1 & 2 need to note there will be toll charges at the Dartford Crossing, but the bonus is the noise you'll be making through the tunnel.
Finally, could you add your name and meeting point to this post please so we're not so likely to leave anyone behind! If you have any spare room in your cars, could you remember to bring a bit of sunshine with you too please.

Christ this sounds very organised! Well done Steve, can't help on getting an efficient route to Jetstream I'm afraid- only been there once myself, looks like we might have a convoy rubber duck!

Would it be ok for non-Nobility to join at the 8:15 stop please? A friend is kindly giving me a lift to collect my car from Jetstream and see the day. Weather permitting, we'll be in his TVR so could be bringing some music.

Looking like 9 Nobles and a TVR so far. That could be quite a sight for any spotters en route! I'm tempted to post on 'area' forums so we might get spotted or possible video footage from a bridge etc. Any thoughts on this? Could it just attract some dick heads trying to race?
