Convoy 5th meet? - Page 3

Tom Collins · 17th September 2007, 11:00

I will be joining the M6 at Coventry, so anywhere after that would be ok for me.

Tom Collins · 17th September 2007, 11:02

It'd better be very early though, as last time we were a bit late. Especially if we will be stopping twice and be quite slow moving on the motorway.
We don't want to miss any of the action.

Timbo.P6 · 17th September 2007, 13:17

we wont be joining the convoy,unless we can join at the end,as we,re stopping at Arnside the night before.
what route will you be taking after the motorway.

Christopher · 17th September 2007, 13:24

We'll be at a Travelodge the night before and will be leaving for the last 10miles or so bright and early - wish I could hang around for a convoy though

Timbo.P6 · 17th September 2007, 13:32

So we,re about 5 miles apart, we should have our own mini convoy Sunday morning.
We,re stopping at ye old fighting cocks in Arnside ,on the Saturday,it has a band on,called catdog who do covers of 70s and 80s rock, is it your sort of music.if so maybe we could meet up for a drink.lemonade of course

We,re getting the train to grange over sands to have fish and chips for tea.it costs £1.80 return,its quicker than going by road,16 miles by road 3 miles by train.!!.

Well, as I'll be coming from the midlands I too will be traveling up on the M6, possibly joining from the A5 (or thereabouts) May even use the M6 Toll so speed up journey times. In which case I leave the South of Lichfield and drive straight onto the M6 Toll (literally!) then it's one big fat motorway journey for the next 130miles or so!! :lol: So anywhere north of the A5/M6 junction to meet is fine with me.

Tom Collins · 18th September 2007, 17:22

Maybe a services just north of Birmingham area, don't know where they are, but then any southerners could meet up with us.
I don't think I'll be taking the toll road as it SHOULD be very quiet at that time on a Sunday.
