downimpact Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thought i would get the ball rolling on this, as we've had some epic convoys in the last few years. We'll be meeting at J30 Toby carvery circa 6:45 (time tbc) and then go direct to Coombe from the west and beat all the traffic queues from the East Please put your name down so I know who we are waiting for. 1.

listy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'll probably be with you boys again Hopefully the M48 bridge will be open this time, and I'll meet you either before the bridge, or at the services on the eastern side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Right then. I'll be going along with you guys again As I said, I'll either meet you at the m48 services, or at the roundabout before the bridge, if you (Jon) want to ring me when you are approaching the junction off the m4 onto the m48. May be able to get a few Bristol members tagging along too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Lol not there As you come off the M4 towards the M48 bridge, you hit a roundabout off the slip road. On the Chepstow exit, there are layby areas all the way up on both sides. I can wait there for you. When you are approaching the slip road, I can pull out, and tag on as you go round the roundabout. We can get some bridge photos then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Just checked map. I made a mistake lol. If you ring me when you are a mile or so away from Junction 2, I'll drop down onto the M48 and crawl until you catch up Edited April 12, 2013 by listy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewysdanny Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Hey John why dont we just meet Listy at Magor services M4, like last year, as that seemed to work fine !!! + Have a laugh with the other boys that are going to J/P that also meet at Magor services Edited April 12, 2013 by lewysdanny needed (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hey John why dont we just meet Listy at Magor services M4, like last year, as that seemed to work fine !!! That adds 20 miles onto my trip mate, and I'd have to get up half hour earlier lol Last year, we were originally going to go across the M48 bridge, but it was closed. Hence why I came to Magor. Depending on if any other members from Bristol way want to join us, I may just come to Magor. Depends if there will be any other stops on the route. We'll know closer the time anyway. Just trying to save myself 20 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sounds like a plan. Plus we can spice it up a bit on the micky 4 I won't be waiting for others in Chepstow either this year as far as I know. Amy's supra was written off a month or so ago by a lorry Don't know Luds plans. That was the black one with me last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Right then. After speaking to Jon via Pm, I'm guessing we are aiming to hit castle combe for 0800 again? If so, then these timings should be good from the initial plan last year, before bridge works screwed it up Working backwards it's 40 mins from the m48 services to coombe and 20 from j30 to those services. So my initial proposal is: meet at 6:35 at the m4 j30 services, leave at 6:50 sharp. meet at 7:15 at the m48 j1 services, leave at 7:30 sharp. how's that? Does that work for you Jon? Tim? If that sounds ok, I'll forward the times to the south west lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hmm last year we managed a leisurely stop at Magor and still took under an hour. Timing looks sensible enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Are we going with the Jap Wales lot like we did last year (until we got bored of them lol) Or by ourselves? I'll PM Noz with those times then, and he can start a South West convoy thread to get them to M48 services if they still want to meet us there. If they do, I'll aim to be there for 0700 to meet them.

listy Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Looks like the South West guys are going to join us at the M48 services, as I've been asked to sort out their convoy times I'm hoping Noz (if not, Robzki) is goin to meet at Exeter, to ensure they leave on time. At the moment, they will be leaving Exeter at 0530, via a 10 minute stop and pick up at Taunton Deane Services, to get to the M48 services for around 0710. I'll be there from 0700, in case they are a touch early, and will have contact wit their convoy from around 0600, as that's when I'll be getting out of bed John, if you sort out Cardiff to the M48 services, to get there for 0715, leave at 0730, arrive Castle Combe for around 0800 like last year.
