As the Northeners have their own convoy thread I thought us Southerners should have one too. :smiley:
I guess the logical meet point for most of us is Chieveley Services on the M4/A34.
1. Hedge
2......
God knows what time though. :confused:

1. Hedge
2..Phil

Not sure how far the services is from SC but I need to be there for 8am! :wink: Im sure Andy (Wigit) will be along to confirm. :happy2:

It says southampton to SC in 2 hours 5 mins. 99 miles.
So 7am at chievely seems a close ETA to 8am at SC :happy2:

Google maps say an hour or so. Be warned there are speedbumps in Bicester if I remember correctly.

....
It's quicker to go M40 for one junction > A43 > A421 and miss out Bicester all together.

thats the easiest route, chievely is to far south for me but a few rocs were going to meet at peartree services in Oxford (A34/A44 junction which sells cheap VPower :happy2:)
other plan was to meet at m40 junction 10 cherwell valley in the lorry park and head up there, robin will know why i suggest lorry park as A43 is not to bad a road :happy2:
not posted any times as not sure what time we are kicking off
-
....
It's going to take forever if we keep stopping on the way. I might just go my own way via A303 and meet you all there at SC.

I agree. I think we will probably leave Chieveley around 07:15 and if we meet others on the way then fair enough.
If people want calling then PM me a mobile number and I will call as we approach your junction/meeting place.
-
Hedge sounds like a plan :happy2:
-
....
It's at least a 3 hour drive without any stops for me so I may see you guys on the road.
:happy2:

im not such a heartless ba$tard after all :signLOL:
See you at Sc then Matie.
-
I was going to come off at Swindon and go A420 but if a few peeps are going to meet at Newbury services I'd be tempted to tag along as A34 is just as quick for me really.
