[jamesycc]

Anyone from the West Country attending CSS this year? Am 90% sure about going, been given time off for good behaviour! Just wondered if anyone wanted to drive up as a casual convoy type thing??

 

[Dan The Top Bloke]

Yeah its, looooong way but really tempted for rare treat for myself.

 

[Bluebeard]

I'll be going. (I'm in Bristol) but I don't know what day/time I'll be going.
Certainly not confident enough to commit to convoy plans! Lol.

 

[stacky]

I also live in Bristol so if you commit to convoy let me know

[Dan]

This is my route



Can do a stop off at Exeter services on the Friday morning around 10-11am I would say is best

 

[Dan]

And then maybe another stop at say Gloucester services at say around 12-1ish?

 

[Dan]

May have to draw that down looking at potential traffic etc and say meet at Exeter at 0930 leaving at 1000

Then meeting at Gloucester at 1200-ish leaving between 1230-ish (need to plan exact time a bit better with potential add on etc.

And then maybe meeting others on the M1 from other lower areas at about 1500-ish (again need to plan this bit)

 

[Bluebeard]

7 hours??! Holy f**k.

 

[Dan]

[Dan]

So I have decided there is not point in meeting on the M42 now and the stop off points will be as follows.

Exeter services (M5) arrive - 0900-0930, leave 1000

Gloucester services (M5) will be the lunch stop.
arrive 1200, leave 1300

Leicester forest East services northbound (M1) final stop before Blyton.
Arrival 1500, leave 1530


Arrive at Blyton for 1700 or later but no earlier.
