Default Fao Milton Keynes experts? lol

Where is the Hilton in MK and how far would it be from there to Silverstone??

I know from cardiff it's ''back tracking'' a little on the Sunday....but to be honest I don't really want to be detouring around oxford for a travel lodge when we're going from Cheltenham through the cotswolds etc.

Frickin website Im booking on doesn't want to tell me where it is either. lol
So anyone stayed there before or do I have to find it on the hilton website

God why doesn't the silverstone travel lodge have space, making my life difficult this is

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...=big&db=GB&rt=

next to the OU , easy to find , the big green road is the A421 , its quite close to the A5 as well.

hilton in MK is not up to standard IMO , but if you get it for a good price then thats cool.

if you are on about ford fair sunday , then there is a convoy going past the hilton sunday morning as we meet in the BP up the road

30 minutes from silverstone.

Nah seriously, shout us a time and we'll try and get there....I'll be the grumpy cow with the bag full of chocolate

Swerv, you are leaving at 07.30, meeting at 07.15

Katie, from there its a little bit of a drive in the morning but not tooooo far I guess. Slightly closer is the Travel lodge in Central Milton Keynes, that is pretty much opposite the A5. Even better is if you can find a B&B in Towcester, then Silverstone will be within sniffing distance in the morning.

I'll drop you a number...probably end up being Phil's though as my phone is out of action and I can't decide on a new one

I'll just have to remember not to bring any cigarettes to caress in front of you

Katie, I know I am hun, and as much as Chip is a pain in the arse at times, I know he'd never bring someone he didnt trust to my house so im cool with it

No worries on the number, either is good, ive got loads to do during the day tmoz but should be sorted by the evening and Chip hs already suggested popping out for a drink somewhere so the more the merrier

Mark, nothing wrong with living in MK, you're just visiting the wrong parts!!!! lol

That hotel isn't far from my house (on the same side of the estate anyway).

The Lloyds you are on about is the one in the Theatre District, not a bad bar, but gets RAMMED on a Fri and Sat night, usually 5 deep at the bar. I prefer the other Lloyds as its huge but the drawback is its more out of the way. If you're in there Tuesday i'll try and pop up

Personally I dont think I look anything like the pics that have been posted of me on PF but hey ho lol

Im waiting to speak to Stu about the tyre size on the slicks, I have a feeling they will be too wide for my fezzy, and as much as I am eternally grateful for your offer, im probably going to have to decline.
