i'll be getting towed down by craig

just depends what time he surfaces on saturday as to whether or not we hook up with you dezz and collect lee on the way

plans are afoot though

I think the A1 may be a better route as the British Grand Prix is on at Silverstone, so the M1 could be a right knob-fest.

All I need to do is buy some logs and make up some chicken kebabs, get a supply of Carlsberg Export and buy a new beer chair.

Hope the weather is like it has been today

Totally forgot about the grand prix being on the same weekend, i'll be leaving a bit earlier then.

A1 is the best bet IMO, I do hope i can make this ,

Would be nice if "woody" doesnt get out of his tent with morning glory and stick his stereo on at daft o clock this time. I can stay at home for that kind of abuse.
Pan handle's, and early tunage is banned this year!

Post Tue Jul 05, 2011 4:21 pm

Still thinking, realy fancy camping but might not have time to get my stuff togeather which would mean traveling down early doors sunday.

Post Tue Jul 05, 2011 6:51 pm

I'll be tip toeing down early doors Sunday morning, can meet up along the way on the M1 jn 30 ??

Is it best doing the M1 all the way or coming off for the A1?

Post Wed Jul 06, 2011 6:16 pm

I'd be avoiding travelling south on the M1 as the GP at Silverstone will probably turn it into a car park
