Default Sunday AM - convoy up M25/M1 ??? Anyone up for it ???

we're aiming to get to the show for 9am.

Anyone know of a good place to meet up on the M1, just off the M25 ?

Would be cool to do the last leg of the journey together

Tiff, we're coming from down sarf, so round M25, then up M1.

Watford Gap is past the show grounds on my map

andy,

is that Shell Chiswell ? Just past the M1 on the M25 clockwise, northbound on 405, just off first big roundabout ?

sounds like a good place to me

Andy, spoke to Ran this morning, he was up for a convoy too, can you make sure you wake him up and get him there on time ?

So far we have:

Mr, MrsFrog (and LouTurbo as passenger)
Edd
Ballin
RsNissan
R4NSS if he can be bothered to get out of bed

Any other takers ?

Membership is not necessary I don't think - think it costs Ł5 at the gate.

Ask on the first link I gave you, should get an answer soon

Where you coming from ?

Er, map above

Exit @ junction 21, get on A405 (north orbital) northbound towards chiswell, should be next to the first roundabout you find.

I'll PM you my mobile number if you get stuck, PM me yours back so we can call you in case we are late, etc...

You need J21a not J21 its the 2nd junction round from south mimms (J23) coming from essex (J30).

Once you get off turn right at the top of the slip road/roundabout and then cary straight on and you will see then Shell garage.
