Convoy to RR08 from the North/North East

[stealthstylz]

Thought i'd throw this idea into the pot now. Does anybody fancy having a convoy down from the North/North East to the show on either the Friday Night or Saturday Morning?

From Newcastle for instance you only have to go down the A1M, A1, M1 and you're more or less there.

I think it would be an awesome sight with a few retros driving down together.

Let me know if you're interested.

Yep, good idea, would be good to get a good lot on one convoy...

Friday:
Stealthstylz
Nev (Huddersfield)

Saturday:

half of our convoy fcuked off and left the rest with no idea where to go last year, so I'm not going to bother this time.

TCC, you fancy doing the usual convoy meet at Donnington services.

OBV I am situated in the middle and most of you pass Notts, so a meet there for us midlanders would be excellent.

I'm up for this. We can talk about it tomorrow Matt
Oh, I'm camping this year aswell

[stealthstylz]

I thought about meeting at various services on the way so people further south can join. We need CB radios lol.

cracking idea. more people should use them, give me someone to talk to them .

if anyones going saturday afternoon then I tag along, got work in the mornings.

[Nev]

Agree'd on the CB radios!

If we could have checkpoints on the way down that would be cool (ie. Services Nr where the M62 and M1 Meet, Donnington and somewhere imbetween etc)

Nearly lost em myself after the midlands meet.

Some over-enthusiastic roundabout blasting left a few of us confused for a minute with an assortment of dual carriageways to choose from, meanwhile half the pack were left nowhere to be seen .

Will convoy down somehow, one day or the other.

[deathgaytothemax]

well ill be heading down with at least 2 cars from durham ish. all being well.

[darren lewis]

will be going from junction 27 m1 can meet at services if anyone fancies this

[briandamaged]

Wouldn't it be great if we could arrange for both the NE and NW/Wales/Mids Friday convoys to merge where the M40/M42 link?? What a brilliant photgraph that would make. Retros left, Retros right......

Bit of timing and communication needed I think.

[stealthstylz]

That would be awesome. Got a while to organise it all so might be able to work something out.

[PandaSelecta]

i will be driving down on friday and camping over, so a convoy would be fantastic

[deathgaytothemax]

well if your cumin down from newcastle i can meet you on the a1 at durham sevices if youd like.

[PandaSelecta]

Aye, that sound good, and it gives my panda a breather

[coggers]

I'm up for this , cracking idea

[PandaSelecta]

Just had a thought, I will be travelling down early on the friday, so unless others are doing the same, I wont be able to convoy

[coggers]

I'll be travelling on the Friday , just not sure at the mo whether it'll be early on or not..
