Title: KK meeting time for santa pod 1st feb
Post by: luca on January 19, 2009, 11:23:25 am
Ok thought i would start a new thread for us northeners who are meeting at krispy kremes :happy2:

I think if we aim to meet at krispy kremes for 7AM try to be on our way by 7.30 AM

It will take us around 3 - 3.5 hours to get there so we should be there for around 10-10.30am depending on how heavy our right feet are :laugh:

Everyone who is meeting there sign up so we know whos coming and so that we dont leave anyone behind :happy2:

Post by: billyboy on January 20, 2009, 09:31:50 pm
just a few pointers
wot time are the sandbach boys meetin,
brum servs are hilton park (M6)   Frankley (M5) thats no good for picking said brakes up,
also if were using the toll road then youll miss hilton park,
TOLL ROAD £4.50, can be paid a number of ways,
1- cash at manned booth
2- cash throw in a basket, no change given
3- credit card, TIP- when machine takes in your card, straight away press for receipt, it speeds things up
4- M6 toll tag
DO NOT USE THE FAR LEFT LANE, signed wide loads, otherwise youll be backing up, it only takes TAGS
and we could use A14, or M1 south
i spose many will have sad naps (sat navs)
billy
EDIT just remembered theres a UN-marked dark blue BMW 5series with a towbar trawls the toll, ive got the reg in me truck ill bring it home 2mora

Its 40 minutes to Brum maximum from Sanbach so i reckon 2 hours is about right.  :wink: unless you want to be first through the gates. Dont forget the plan is the toll road, and we can make time up on there.  :evilgrin:
