Default FAO Hull - Rotterdam Ferry people!!!

Little convoy for us methinks.

Since we have to hit the ferry no later than 1900 (I think), I was thinking meet between 1700 and 1730 at Heartshead Moor Services (Eastbound) - These services are pretty much central to everyones route (providing you join the M62 of course before them LOL) and are located between junctions 25 (Cooper Bridge - Brighouse) and Junction 26 (Chain Bar - Bradford)


Put your names down if you want to enjoy the delights of a convoy of party-goers and I will add you to the list


1 - Graceland + Oggy BMW 530d Sport
2 - Stu + Nicole BMW M5
3 - Nick & Karl BMW 330D Sport
4 - Kenny & Will Focus ST
5 - Diva & Shorty Sapphy Cos 4x4
6 - Sticky & Kev Sapphy Cos 2wd
7 - Darren & Danielle Escort S1 Turbo

only takes an hour to get to Hull from here Craig, so plenty of time *touch wood* Also once past the M1/M62 interchange heading east then the M62 is rarely clogged anyway

I would say meet at 5pm to be safe.
Being late and missing the crossing due to poxy tea time traffic isnt really an option is it.

Lets meet in the middle at 5, cos we still have to get to you and we have preston and manchester traffic between us and you and we are open at MSD that day too.

D'oh, I forgot about the nightmare of the M6/M61 junction

At least the m62 is free flowing once you get past J20 for Oldham

1700 it is
