Scoobyghost Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 As a lot of us are travelling up to this, it's gonna be an awesome show. I'm suggesting we stage a few meet points along the way and end up with a nice convoy coming into silverstone. If we can start with where you are and what day you're going to japfest eventually we will end up with meet locations and times. I'm at bluewater/dartford crossing so a good hot-spot for a fair few members to pass through. No matter how we do it it will bean early start to allow for travel and further stops along the way. Any help greatly appreciated[emoji5] 2
GeoffLeggy Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Excellent. Im fairly close at Tring so have easy access to M25 and M1. South Mimms Services which is Jct23 M25, strikes me as a good point. Not long after that you will be getting on the M1. When you get on to the M1 you have Toddington Services. Not sure what time we want to get to track? Toddington Services is approx. 50mins - 1hr from the track . I can realistically be at either of above but Toddington would make more sense if others want to meet after South Mimms.
Scoobyghost Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Toddington is a good service to meet. We used it for japshow last year. A few ideas I had for stop offs would be pease pottage for those south of me. Somewhere before the dartford tunnel for an obligatory tunnel run. Bluewater is an option but car park are quite confusing. Then we could stop at toddington as a last stop before silver stone. Each stop will be 10-15 minutes so need to factor that in to travel time. It's a rough 2hr journey from the crossing and an hour to toddington. I'm gonna offer up a time if 6am for the dartford crossing meet. Would mean 7:15 at toddington and arrive roughly 8:30 at silverstone. If any will be at pease pottage they'd need to leave at 5:15. All of these are still ideas but the more we get the quicker we can get it set in stone 😄 Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Scoobyghost Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Just want to add and make clear, I'm organising this for the Sunday. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
LoganS Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Im right on the Essex side of the tunnel so will join up with you
Phil3822 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I am travelling on the Sunday from Wisbech, nearest city being Peterborough. For me it will be A47 to Peterborough, A605 to Thrapston then A45 to Silverstone.
Scoobydoobydan Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Ahhhh bugger, I'm staying up on the Saturday....taking a cruise up the day before, if anyone is going up on the Saturday give me a shout I'll be coming up from Arundel West Sussex way, but happy to cruise back with you guys after the show 1
Scoobyghost Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 I'm going to be leaving Greenhithe at 5:45am and head up to roadchef Northampton, hoping to arrive there for 7:30am. Wasn't as much interest for a convoy as I thought there would be. Geoff, we will still be passing toddington services at roughly 7am so could still meet there. I'm meeting Stants at roadchef.
GeoffLeggy Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Yes mate, I'll tag on at Toddington at 7am then. Bring a decent coat it's looking cold! I'll pm you my number if there's any problems.
stants Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Early doors for everyone ! Who's idea was it to meet at 8 ? Does anyone know what time the gates actually open? I can't open the final attachment for details just comes up with a load of script
GeoffLeggy Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 6am open and all club cars must be parked up by 8:30 latest!!
stants Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 [emoji25] there for 6 leaving at mid day ! Ah well never mind I'll just have to get up at half 4 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
