Hey guys. Greetings from the Welsh region! 
I live in Cardiff but I'm actually from Reading and I'm spending the CSS weekend in Reading with my best mate just to break up the trip and to get back to the motherland for a bit. :rasp:
Was wondering if anyone fancied doing a convoy on the day?
There seems to be a few threads floating around regarding this but I can't find anything conclusive so I'll just throw out my idea! I did spot there was an Oxford one but nobody seemed to be joining it.
I'd like to be at the airbase for 10:30. Google Maps says the trip will take me 1h44 from Caversham, Reading but I'd like to be out of Reading by 8:30 at the very latest, 8 ideally because some pleb on his early morning ASDA run will inevitably crash, roll and cause a delay.
But I digress...
My quickest route is via the M4 then the M25 and the A1 which takes us to the doorstep.
If anyone from Swindon, Bracknell or wherever you are would like to jump in then feel free. More the merrier!
I'm seeing the South East have organised a beast of a convoy but I must admit I don't really want to spend my morning pissing my fuel away around London - however if the general vibe is that we'd like to join that then it's very doable. Traffic permitting it's not a huge detour.
Anyway if anybody likes this idea then I'll figure out a few places we can meet.
If only a few people fancy this then I'll fire out a few PMs with my number to keep it simple.
Now let's congest those motorways with Clios!
Here is the route I had in mind:
I'm using the new Google Maps so hopefully this will work.
