Southend Meet...
- Thread starter Rob
- Start date
Looking for 182
That lay by looks like a decent place to meet for the people coming through Tonbridge way. I believe Rob is working out times for the convoy so we'll wait for him to confirm 
With regards to convoy etiquette etc. I would recommend sticking to speed limits (on the way there at least).
There are average speed cameras, fixed cameras and on saturday nights mobile cameras operating in Southend on a saturday night. Unless you know the area you may come unstuck...
It also attracts ALOT of stolen/uninsured cars, unlicenced drivers, general chavs/lunatics and therefore many old bill, in both marked and unmarked (sometimes modified to blend in believe it or not!) cars.
Of course this is just my opinion in an attempt to look out for anyone coming. It is ultimately your licence/car/insurance and I will definately not be lecturing or critisising anyone if they have some fun, or get pulled!
Usually there's plenty of quieter, less inhabitated areas for a bit of play that people travel to though...

I think Rob is in the process of working out convoy meeting times, so I think we might have to wait for him to confirm. I could be wrong though.

Its going to be dark at 7:30 so all the photos will suck
They won't be that bad, it'll not be pitch black with street lighting

Meeting times will be sorted by this time tomorrow.
For those meeting down in tonbridge etc, you'll need to work it out yourself, but I'll give times for the places along my way and hopefully it'll all run smoothly.

Thank you Dash! I will be seeing you all at the A127 meeting point
:approve:
Also, in the interests of dedication = reward, I'll supply a clio related prize to the person that has travelled the furthest to attend this.
How it will work: If you think you're a contender for this, pm me with your postcode and i'll do a route planner thing to see how far away you are. Don't think you can come up with a random far away postcode though, as i'll be checking!

Nope, 175 miles to beat currently
If I went the wrong way round the M25 would I win?

I don't think so. Did I tell you what the prize was? (I can't remember) It would be cheaper if you just bought one from the shop I think

Please take note that the times on this are the times the convoy will be leaving the place in question, if you're not here by that time, then you'll be making your own way.
We can't wait for everyone, if everyone is five minutes late, we'll be over an hour late at the other end.

Meet adam172, MikeB, Willdot and Dan'. Leave Greenhithe Mcdonalds (two minutes away from Bluewater shopping centre)
From here we drive on the m25, over the bridge etc towards the A127, we'll stop on the A127 at the Halfway House as it has a big car park and we'll meet.

This is where those from other locations join, M1 guys, A21 guys, anyone else. A127 at the Halfway House
Leave the halfway house and head for Southend with those who will have joined us elsewhere
Then straight onto Southend
We should be about 5-10 minutes late (i.e 7:40) but this way I've included a few more members.
