Post by: Hedge on June 20, 2010, 06:02:06 pm
Last year some of us met at Rothersthorpe Services at Junc 15.

Hedge for some reason, your link shows a route starting in leicester and ending at Brunters. Surely that means going up before coming back down?!?!

Im setting off at 5.30, and avoiding the m3 , m25 route, going up via a34 and m40 then accross, not sure as to what time ill get to m1 junction 15. If i recall, myself and steathwolf last year did 1.30hr from Wichester to those services. Which means if thats the case , ill be passing services between 7.15-7.30 ian if you want to be there earlier mate. :happy2:

Up to you :drinking:

I'm going A34 > M40 > A43 > M1 too. Going to avoid the A303 and Glasto crowd. But I don't expect to hit M1/J15(?) until 8:00am so I'll see y'all at Inters.

Safe Journeys and Take Care :happy2:

....I'll aim to be there close to 8:00am and will stop and phone you if running late. It usually takes me 3hrs from home to VWR @ MK, and I'm planning on leaving home at 5:00am so all should be fine.

I'd have to leave home at 4:30am very latest to get to Southampton, Steve. I'm gonna go cross country via Salisbury on one of my favourite roads - I doubt I would catch you up without risking my licence!
