Sunday drive up from South East

[Mark]

I just wondered if anyone else is heading up from Kent / London area early on the Sunday morning? I'm at Brands Hatch on the Saturday, so staying in a B&B nearby. I had planned on leaving at sunrise.

Anyone else up for it?

I'll be using the M40 from Oxford, can meet up at the Cherwel Valley services if you're going the same way.

I pass Brands Hatch on the way so I'll join you - I want to leave early though - What time you thinking?

I'm coming from Leicester. I can use the M40 from coventry but don't know where i can meet you

[Mark]

My hotel is at DA13 and was thinking of leaving around 5am? Am happy to leave a bit earlier if needs be though.

This was route I had in mind.

ETA - Thinking about it, at that time on a Sunday we could probably go straight through the city without too much delay.

OK, if you're using the M40 I could meet you at cherwell valley services between 6.30-6.45am if I've calculated it correctly.
Only thing I ask is that if you or I are running late then don't wait!
Let's face it we are both going to be driving old motors and I think we all know what little surprises they can throw up and it's early on a Sunday.
I'll hopefully be driving my Monza and I might have my neighbour with me in his early MX5.

Sounds like a plan. I will be in a red E30 BMW and I'll message you my mobile number.

Obviously if anyone else wants to tag along then feel free!

Rather stick to the M25 - London is full of surprises for a little detour!

5am from your hotel sounds perfect.

A few friends and I will be travelling up in a MR2 (yay!) and an is200 (boo), planning on leaving J6 of M25 around 0600ish.

Could leave a bit earlier/later depending on when you're planning to pass - if we're cool to tag along?

Cheers
Rob

The only place I can think of is Hopwood services M42,without anyone having to make big detours.
I'll have a quick look at how long it will take to to get there from Cherwel Valley services so I can give you some idea of what time we will be in the area.

OK I've had a look and it looks like we will be in the area at around 7.30am.
Give or take a few minutes.
If you want to meet up there let us know and we can pull in to the services and collect you guys.
