boomerbang2006 · Jul 26, 2011

Its a bit off route for me as i`m coming from juction 10,m6,going on my lonesome though so might see you on route.

Nickw88 · Jul 27, 2011

I may be up for this, I live just outside Stourbridge so easy enough for me to detour. Need to get a few more people though if possible!

jamiemgreen68 · Jul 27, 2011

wanna meet in worcester?

jamiemgreen68 · Jul 27, 2011

whatevers best for you guys...planning on going motorway or cutting through Alcester and taking the country roads?

Addicted · Jul 27, 2011

i'll probably go the motorway, quickest route! will see what others do though

Don · Jul 27, 2011

I would suggest meeting at Frankley Services South and go M5, M42, M40 down to Oxfordshire.

Gates open at 10:30 and bing directions reckons its approximately 40 mins from Frankley to Gaydon...so if people want to meet circa 9:00-9:15 for a 09:15 departure time, we can go in a convoy..if people want to.

jamiemgreen68 · Jul 27, 2011

works for me, i can just bomb up to junction 3 and then come back down to the services

Relax fella, I have just put the suggestion forwards, its personal preference as to who wants to do what.

If we have a 15 minute window (09:00 - 09:15) and take a steady drive, then its sorted. We can also swap numbers between now and Friday night (via PM!) if people want to, then at least we can keep in touch as I'll be doing M43, M6, M5 to get to Frankley and will have a new phone...so might have to search out decent Android apps for Sat Nav!

Nickw88 · Jul 27, 2011

Is there a maccies at Frankly? All road trips should start with a maccies breakfast...

No mate, thats much further down the M5 (Strensham Services I think)...nearest one is M5 J2 (Oldbury by Toys R Us), don't know about after Frankley though.

Nickw88 · Jul 27, 2011

Gutted!

I may have to go to kiddy first then lol (www.fatshit.com)

Got it and msg'd you to advise of mine.

For the record, its best to keep numbers off the public forum...send by PM in future.

Addicted · Jul 28, 2011

I'm unsure what to do, both of your locations are a good 30min extra on the route that i'd take!
How about stopping briefly here: (is this Junction 1 M42?) http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr...w;FYPlHgMdgMrg_w&mra=mi&mrsp=2&sz=18&t=h&z=17
There's a big car park just off the junction below!

That way i can just tag along with you people if i meet you there!

Is there a big enough bridge that you can sit in the car on and wait till you see us coming at that junction?

If not, one of us can call you when we're approaching J1 of the M42 and you can drop down onto the motorway then (as we don't want to keep stopping...as more stops = more delays and potential for things to go wrong increases)?

Nickw88 · Jul 28, 2011

There's going to be one, possibly two of my mates coming and we'll be heading to Frankley SB at 9.00am from Halesowen McD's

Can whoever's organising it and meeting there drop me a PM with their number just in case we're running late/break down etc

Cheers
