SouthWest convoy to Gaydon?

Post Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:09 am

Right who is going from the SouthWest region?
Lets get a convoy sorted,times and meet points etc.
Anyone from Torbay can meet at my house if you like then we can head off and meet others along the way.
Only about 3 weeks to go so lets get this organised

Good idea getting this organised

Whats your planned route Tony? I'd gladly join in on the way up. I still need to join the BMWCC and pay the entry fee. Feck knows when I'm going to have time to organise that

Dameon,no idea on route,just follow the car at the front,thats all i did last couple of times

RandomDave took the lead last time as he knows the way straight to it so looks like he will be assigned leader again this time...............Dave?

Not even sure what time it starts?10am i think but this will need confirming.
Assuming its 10am then allowing times for stopping to meet others ill be aiming to set off around 6.30-7am?
Last year we met some at Exeter services(J30) then more at J26 i think then met up with the Welsh zoners somewhere near the M4?

Im not in BMWCC either and wont be joining either so just normal parking for me

Ill point Dave in the direction of this thread next time i see him,hell be best at times etc.

I may drive down the M5 a bit and join you for the trip up, as no other bugger seems to come from round here

Chris thatll be cool if you do,more for the numbers although it looks like just 2 of us right now

Keep an eye on this post for junctions/meeting times etc.
