Convoy to the National 18th September (From Essex / Suffolk)

Rabett_Rover · 13th September 2011, 11:06

Since there are a good few of us heading up from London, the South, Essex and Suffolk I thought it might be a good idea to head up together in convoy.

The meet starts at 10am and the journey from Colchester (according to Google maps) takes 1 hour and 14 mins, heading up on the A140.

I prepose meeting at 8:30 - 8:45am at the new services at Junction 28, Colchester Community Stadium / Cuckoo Farm. Then heading off at around 8:50am.

Anyone interested?

Who’s coming...
Lewis (Rabett_Rover) MG ZR 105 Bittersweet
Paul (Woody804) Rover 75 Club SE Starlight Silver
Mark (Eeyore) MG ZT 190+ Solar Red
Andy (Ivorthedj) MG ZT-T CDTI X Power Grey
Dave (Dave Goody) MG ZT 190+ X Power Grey
Gary (Godders 75) Rover 75 Connoisseur SE CDTI Odyssey Blue
Steve (Whitevanman) Rover 75 2.5 Connoisseur SE Wedgwood Blue
Colin (CFS75) Rover 75 Connoisseur SE (Copperleaf Red)
Graeme (Monte Carlo) MG ZT-T 190 Trophy Blue
Jim (JimA) Rover 75 Connoisseur CDTI Royal Blue

Possibly...

Hi Lewis,
Would love to do the convoy thing but Ros has to attend to her Elderly Mother before we leave so can't be sure what time that will be.

Maybe next time and look forward to seeing you there anyhow

Dave Goody · 13th September 2011, 12:21

We'll be there + probably, Godders 75 and White van man.
We are now meeting my son Darren there as he lives in Cambridge.
See you Dave

CFS75 · 13th September 2011, 12:36

Lewis, I'll contact Monte Carlo and JimA and suggest that we meet with you at the RV. I will confirm later.

List updated, should be a nice little convoy

Hello Lewis

I am staying with friends at Bury St. Edmunds on the Saturday night and possibly the Sunday night as well. Is that anywhere close to the route you had in mind?

Hi Gatekeeper, I'm afraid thats well off route, you would have to backtrack a fair way.Your route would be A143 Bury to Flixton.
I guess we would be A12 most of the way? Dave
