Title: Convoy to JKM from Essex/Kent
Post by: Nodz on October 20, 2012, 07:31:56 am
A few of us meet up and have a convoy down and I was wondering if anyone else from this way fancies joining.

Meeting place is the Esso Petrol Station, Princes Road, Dartford, DA1 1YT, M25 J1B (Clockwise) or J2 (Anti clock) We normally aim to meet and leave about 7am

Could do. Last time James met us here and came from margate. The garage is literally on top of the A2/M25 junction coming from your way and will probably only add another 15m/10mins to the total journey time

Ok. I'll have a look on google maps later when I get home. But if its not too much of a de-tour like you say. I'll be up for that.
How many of you are meeting there ?

....I'll keep you on the list in case you are okay to roll. I'm sure that Jim/Kate will advise you beforehand if you tell them of your concern.

Have Fun but Safe Journeys, guys  :happy2:

....Be very careful in the Hindhead Tunnel - The Police are very aware and there are SPECS. There's also a voice tannoy system with speakers along the whole length - It's very scary as I found out!

I don't know what time you are going to be there but Myself, Thor, Dom and the Wrong 'un will be travelling down the A3.

Probably hit the Godalming turn off around 8:00am if that coincides with your timings.  :smiley:

Its only about an hour from Dartford to that junction so if we left at 7 we should be there about that time  :smiley:
