SE Japfest convoy - M4 J13 services, 8am departure

[Ewan]

OK, who's up for a convoy? Meet at M4 J13 services (Chieveley, RG18 9XX) at 7:45 for an 8am departure. Destination SN14 7EY. Route here (http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=51.50308281183242~-1.7643249034881591&lvl=10&eo=0&rtp=pos.51.450775428742325_-1.3096770644187927_near%20Street%2C%20Thatcham%20R G18%209%2C%20United%20Kingdom___a_~pos.51.49288304 1501045_-2.2190558910369873_SN14%207EY___e_&mode=D&rtop=0~0~0~) suggests 50 mins, though we ususally get a bit stuck nearing the circuit so leaving at 8 should get us there not long after the gates open at 9am.

Usual process; post a reply quoting the list below and add your name to the end...

2. Paul G - Dont mind meeting earlier to avoid Q!

[NSX 2000]

Should be able to make this :D

For those going South [bottom half] around M25 we would need to meet at Clacket Lane services 1 hour before ie 6:45.

as I will be staying at Chippenham would like to pick up the convoy at M4 Junc 17 around 08:30.
Is there anyone else looking at this?

[Ewan]

OK, be there or be elsewhere - I should be at Chieveley Services from 7:40 or so, and will be expecting to be rolling out at 8am latest.

Looks like we're being advised to carry on to J18 then double back towards CC.

Wait for me :D:D !! I'm working a nightshift tonight but plan to try and get to the services by 8am. Hopefully will make it as I'm going to leave work a bit earlier than normal. Try not to leave before 8am......

Sorry not had regular computer access and a bit late adding to this thread!

Going to be travelling up the M23 so happy to meet those leaving clacketts at the little lay bye off junction 8 as we did last year. If your leaving clacketts at 6.45 then will be at junction 8 for 6.50?

Anybody else travelling up the M23 and want to meet at Pease Pottage?

NOOOOOOOOO :eek:

we'll come of at Jcn 17 and go the back way in, I stay at the hotel around the corner quite a bit so I know the back roads, that way we'll avoid all the queues.

OK, works for me :D

J17ers - why not wait for us just north of the junction and pick up the convoy as it passes?

I guess we're back to route A (http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=51.50308281183242~-1.7643249034881591&lvl=10&eo=0&rtp=pos.51.450775428742325_-1.3096770644187927_near%20Street%2C%20Thatcham%20R G18%209%2C%20United%20Kingdom___a_~pos.51.49288304 1501045_-2.2190558910369873_SN14%207EY___e_&mode=D&rtop=0~0~0~) or similar, but Paul can definitely lead the way - I'm not taking any blame this year :D

cheers

I'll try and make it to the M4 services.

Now for some sleep.....
