I'll give you a phone call Saturday to confirm.

also seems a good plan

Quote from RoGuE's post:

 

Possible convoy from M6 J2 Coventry Services?

For those travelling from the North West or West Mids how d'you fancy this? (Sunday)

 

The AA reckons it'll take an hour to get to Huntingdon services from the M6 J2 Coventry services (see below), so we'd need to meet there at 0800 ish to leave at 0830? (Plenty of chance for a toilet stop/stragglers to arrive).

 

This would total a cool 73 miles of convoy travelling.

 

From the AA route planner

It's 15 mins up the road from the coventry services (we'll be there in 10 ;) )

Set to leave Coventry at 0830. I guess if you find a layby with bammbamm you'll soon see us go by. (PM your moby if you like)

Well if it gets to lunch time and you're still in a layby you'll know :D

Unless it's torrential thunder and rain I'm sticking with the plan.

ok with me guys.

 

First layby on a14 after M1. **8:45am***

We need to get to Brampton Services the "main" convoy for 9:15 / 9:45

 

See you sunday ;)

 

I'll be going unless total monsoon :( :cry:

You're not going to stick with the Coventry stop? Just worries me how many could turn up - those laybys ain't that big if I remember rightly.

This new M1/A14 layby is ideal for me Rogue.

 

:blonde: One question. is the layby on the A14 because the arrow on that map points to Rugby Road, Swinford

 

the arrow means nothing just needed a pic of swinford then paned down to see top of a14, fogot about arrow soz. :innocent:

 

tt steve.
