staples230uk Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Right, lets get this organised then lads. Me and lambo are going to meet up at 7am then head up to the Thetford services. Is it just us 3 who are going to meet there or is there anymore takers. We'll never make the convoy as they're meeting too early, so we'll just cruise up for an arrival time of around 10:30 ish, maybe a little earlier. We'll be following the A11 most of the way, then maybe take the A14 from Cambridge up to Pod. That sound good? Count me in, what time you guys wanna meet at thetford. Is this the services at barton mills dan? Give me a time and I'll be there. Yeah to make the main convoy I'm gonna have to be up at the crack of a sparrows fart lol. Any other day I would have done, but working nights that week so need some sleep lol. I bet the mega convoy is awesome and to all those who are going in it.....have a good one Edited August 3, 2011 by staples230uk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I's say we'd be there around 08:15 fella, if we get there earlier than you we'll just hang about, were not in a massive rush to get there I'll check with lambo if thats the services he's talking about, he knows the area better than i do.

LolaBoost94 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Are you guys hitting A11 towards London then hitting the A14 around Huntingdon area? If so, would you guys mind letting me join ya? I'm staying at RAF Alconbury near Stukeley. I've only been in the UK a week so I'm not very good at getting around. I'm gonna see if a buddy at work can let me borrow his GPS. Let me know and I'll get further details as to where you guys can stop or where I can meet you a little farther down A14. As most have mentioned... the mega meet is getting together pretty early Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lui Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just wondered if you lot of East Anglians have organised yourselfs to meet my Mega convoy at Brampton services at 8.30am this is why I have added that stop ??? if not we are going to go straight through from South Mimms without stopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaBoost94 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hey Lui, do you have the postal code for where you're stopping? I'm new and don't really know my way around. I may meet you at the Brampton stop if it's not too far from Alconbury/Huntingdon area. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Were going to be travelling up later than that Lui, thats why we started this thread. I would love to meet up with the mega convoy, but that would mean us leaving around 5am just to get there comfortably. Lola, the Brampton stop isnt far from Huntingdon i dont think. I've replied to your PM also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Did not realise it was the Brampton Services , however post code according to Google maps is A14 Brampton, Cambridgeshire PE28 4, UK. I have done Lui's convoy before, it is ok however a lot effort, especially when it involves getting up early! I need one day where i am not getting up at 06:00! According to my sat nav i am 40 miles from the Brampton services, so should take about 10 mins in the supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
