Yes I know at the last meet in Kent I had to queue to get a place on there.

Hmmm. Do you really want to on the M25 with a dodgy fan and perhaps no Air Con ??

Considered M11 as far as it goes into London then dual carrieageway all the way to Blackwall followed by the A2 ??

Yes that's a good idea or M11 to A406 (To Dagenham-A13) & back to M25 just by Lakeside which is pretty much on the edge of the bridge.

I am sure at the Speed GG will be driving he won't need a fan.

I am very circumspect about my speed on major roads. I can however let rip on the roads around here. The roads are nice and twisty but in a flat landscape so no nasty surprises. I was overtaken recently by a sierra cossie on the Wittlesey road at a speed in excess of 100 him not me your honour, I was doing a sedate coughmumblecough and literally minding my own business. I could not see the rear of his car for dust and small pebbles.

John, first mistake. You can not think M25 and quick in the same conversation

I was thinking of his last attempt to get to Upchurch on a Saturday and his vivid descriptions of fellow travellers stuck in the traffic for 4 hours.

When I have to use it for Heathrow I know it can be a Pain,
but the hour I normally travel at reasonably smooth.
Fortunately being a few Hundred miles away I forget Europe's Biggest car Park.
But there again I have the M6!

Mick I know you would only drive at speeds suitable for the Road

Okay, we've organised with the pub around the corner, The Crown, for food to be available from around 5pm. They provide a good range of pub food (e.g. lasagne, baguettes, steak & chips, scampi & chips, sausage & mash) at reasonable prices.

Have a nice mini meet!

Too bad, for me it's just a little bit too far for a one day round trip ...
