Friday Convoy - South Bound M1

[mk14dr]

So, I seem to have orchestrated a stand for a few Northerners (and some pretenders) and I guess it's time to work out the route and timing for the convoy down.

We usually meet at Woolley Edge Services just south of Wakefield (South bound, obviously) at around 1pm.

It's 146miles from there, google maps is telling me just shy of 3hours.

Who is wanting to get in on this?

WillCarter , stealthstylz , morrisoxide , penski you guys go without saying. foxy and slammed 66 - I know you chaps expressed an interest in getting involved.


deathgaytothemax did you say you were travelling down Friday afternoon?


Anymore for anymore?

[Foxy]

I'm down like Charlie Brown with a smile not a frown.
slammed 66 you fancy cruising to meet these guys from GY?

[slammed 66]

Count me in home's.

What time are we talking?

I assume we'd meet up at Doncaster services rather than heading towards wakey?

[Foxy]

I have Dave and Matt's phone numbers so we could just meet them at Donny as they pass I suppose.we can liaise the ship out of this.

Heading down Saturday and camping 20 mins away from the hill climb, I'll see you all Sunday.

We'll be hitting the Services at J23 of the M1 at around 2.30ish then heading down the '42 all the way to Hopwood services for around 3.45ish then hit M5.

Bit too far north from Rugby though I think.

[MrSpeedy]

Yeah, bit far that! lol

Unfortunately not. Onwards and upwards. Next year will hopefully be a different story.

I'll tag along for the convoy if that's ok?

Info for Northern folk...

Metro Centre (Newcastle'ish) roadworks are now finished (calling Penski ) but it's still 50mph.

Barton has roadworks but not too bad retrorides.proboards.com/thread/191824/traffic-information
