Re: N/W fcs convoy sunday 13 june

Heading down the M6 generally joining it at J29 or maybe a little lower if no one needs us up that high.

Lymm is usually the first port of call, but this will be decided by who wants to join us and where

Lee, usual place if you're coming this year?

If you add your names to the list please put your location too, relative to the M6.

 

[Cal182]

Where's it at this year?

 

[Da]

FCS you mean?

Same place it was last year - Rockingham.

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

What time are people aiming to get there for? Might be up for a convoy if we're not off down the night before

 

[Da]

We generally aim to get there about 7.30 - 8.00am.

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

Might join up with you guys then, could make it a joint club convoy with some of the NW Williams Clio lot?

We would be getting on the M6 junction ftom the M56 whichever one that is lol

 

[Da]

Yeah sure, sounds good! Keep an eye on this thread and we'll sort something out.

 

[clio carl]

cool, the more the merrier seeing as ther is only two of us (possibly three lol)

 

[clio carl]

[Arran_182]

[DB.]

What time are you guys aiming to arrive at FCS for?

 

[Da]

Hopefully about 7.30am.

any news on this convoy?

What do you want to know?

 

[leeds_182]

Is your convoy hitting the M1 at all?

 

[Da]

No mate, wrong side of the country for us :dapprove:

 

[Arran_182]

Hopefully about 7.30am.



What do you want to know?

where are you stopping off on the M6 and at what time?

 

[Da]

Ok, this is what we normally do -

I am planning on leaving my house at 3.45am meaning I should be around Charnock Richard area for about 4.15am for those in that area. Will hang around for 10 - 15 mins but will leave at 4.30am at the latest!

Then onto Lymm, aiming to be there for 5.00am and again will loiter for 15 minutes tops to leave at 5.15am.

From Lymm we will (obviously) be heading South towards J17 (Sandbach) for around 5.45am.
Now I'm not certain but is there a South-bound services at Sandbach or is it just North-bound? Either way will meet people there (somehow) and then head straight down to FCS directly.

From Charnock services, according to the RAC, the journey should take us approx 3 hours, so if we add in 30mins for stopping at services etc then I would hope we'd arrive at FCS around 7.30 - 8.00am.

Total journey from my home to FCS, without stops, is listed as 3 hours 50minutes!


If I have missed an area out please get in touch and I will amend times/places accordingly.

Oh and I'm not fully 100% on the route once we leave the M6 so will be checking up on this, but if anyone wishes to take the lead then feel free!

And the times are generally as follows -

M65 J5 3.55am



Charnock Richard for about 4.15am



Lymm, for about 5.00am




J17 (Sandbach) for about 5.45am

Feel free to add your names in the relevant section if you want to join the convoy

I usually go down the A41 between chester and Bham, much better than the M6..
Also, is 7.30 early enough for the stand?

[Da]

We stick to the M6 mainly because it's easier for meeting points etc.

As far as I'm aware as long as we're on the stand before 9am then we'll be fine.

 

[aucky]

The guy organising the layout says try for 7am

 

[Cal182]

How long does it last?

 

[Da]

What Cal? The show? It's on till 5pm I think but you can leave as soon as you want to.

 

[Cal182]

Are you going home straight after or you staying somewhere Daz?

 

[Da]

Straight home mate, there and back in the day

 

[Cal182]

Even more tempted to come now mate, big time!!!

 

[Da]

[mat-nos]

what sort of speeds you guys go at??

i cant stand convoys if people hero off at 1 million miles an hour then stamp on the brakes until people catch up and weave in and out of the convoy.

if i go down with you lot im quite happy to lead the convoy from last services as tom tom will show us the way but im afraid it will be cruise control at 64mph or not at all ;-)

 

[Da]

We don't 'hoon off' mate, not into that at all

As long as we make good time then there's no need to be pushing the limits.

 

[Cal182]

No 'hooning off' deffo! Petrol being a massive reason. Nice cool convoy, get some heads turning then on the way.

 

[Cal182]

Daz, you and carl will be passing Preston wont you to get there?

 

[Da]

No mate, M65/M66/M60/M6...don't come as far over as Preston.
