Cheers Nath...
I personally think that the 8.30 at Junction 3/4 services would be most centreal for most, wait around 20 mins, and then onto the Pod?
How does that sound to everyone?

Nousey, what's happened with markymark? Did he finally sell his car? Has he bought his pirelli? Is he coming with you?

I wont be able to make this rendezvous point as its going the wrong way for me. I could meet you guys at the Maccy D's just down the road from these services? The post code is CV2 2RZ, breakfast is cheaper here too!  :confused:
Title: Re: Midlands Stealthvoy to the Pod 24/10/2010

Or.....you could sit on the slip lane to the M6 and join us when you spot a convoy!  :grin:

I'm sure we'd be able to accommodate a minor detour to pick you up. But you must bring some food!  :party: :grin:

Reports state Corley services are quite expensive? Anyone who uses them able to verify this?
Otherwise I'm bringing my own MaccyD's brekkie!

It's less than 10 mins from Corley to the Greeners waypoint, then around an hour's drive to SP
Cool so plan of action:

1. Corley Services: Highfield Lane, Corley, Coventry, CV7 8NR [J3/4 M6S] - arrive 0800, depart 0820
2. MaccyD's: 2 Wigston Road, Coventry, CV2 2RZ - arrive 0830, depart 0840
3. Santa Pod Raceway, Airfield Road, Podington, Wellingborough, Northants, NN29 7XA - arrive 0940



Does anyone want to make amendments to the itinerary?

EDIT: I've amended the times.

I am probably just going to get a greasy brekfast when I set out, not planning on getting a Mcscrubbers meal, esp not at service station prices, just using the location as a meeting point!

Does anyone know if we are meeting up with other convoys or if we will be meeting with the rest of the guys at the pod?

Well my guess is we'll be at Corley about the time Greeners and co will be there so we could pop in and tag on to them..never been to Santa Pod before...so I hope some else has been before... :driver:

I've been once - at last year's springfest (missed it this year).

Nousey, what time do you plan on leaving MaccyD's? I think we need to revise the times. If we aim to be at Corley services from between 0800 and 0820, we can then meet Nousey and marky at MaccyD's around 0830, then be on for the 'pod by 0930 (or earlier  :grin: ).

A better plan? Or still to early for some?

The plan is to leave corley around 0820, rather than arrive at 0830 and wait twenty mins. It's not a huge amount of difference. Otherwise we have two convoys leaving the midlands, which is a bit silly.  :stupid:
