marbleapple Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'll be 'tootling' down with Marc_p to this and just wondered if there were any Yorkshire folk that fancied meeting up and convoying on the way down? I'll be listening to my 'Best of Glee' album. Subject to Marc's thoughts (and depending on start time) I might try get us to the Falcon in time to join the main convoy.

Littler Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Like Mike, you'll be passing my area most likely, then I'll be heading down the M1-M42 to pick up Sheefa then onto The Falcon and I'll have the GoPro's at the ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Guys when you arrive at the Museum please try & park in colour co-ordination!! I know it can be a pain in the arse to manage this but I though it would look awesome for a photo opportunity, especially as we could be having a magazine or two there The car park at the museum holds 100 cars so we got plenty of space to do this. Find a car the same colour & park right next to it, if you don't find your colour then start a new area... simples For those with non stock colours I'd like you all to be together in the mixed bag of haribo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 lads I am coming down so I will convoy, when/what time are people setting off? I'll be joining the M1 from Batley/Dewsbury. Abz that might be difficult for me, not many purple cars on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C12MMO Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'll be joining the M1 from doncaster & I've just had a quick look and if we were too meet at Woodhall services on the M1 we would be 1 hour 30ish from the main convoy at the falcon. Not sure who else were meant to be meeting up with on the way, So not sure what time would be best to meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 What time do we have to be at the venue?? Its a good 2.5 hours to the venue from Huddersfield. Google maps is showing fastest route is via A1 but only faster by a few minutes, I cba with the round abouts so its the M1 for me. Someone should make a map on the main thread with local meeting points and times then hopefully everyone will see eachother on the way there... Woodhall services sounds like a plan...

marbleapple Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Woodall Services sounds like a plan. Why don't we wait till closer to the day before confirming an exact time. Wait to see if things change etc. We want to arrive in plenty of time for our breakfast at the Falcon and the convoy that follows. Breakfast is from 8.30-10 but in reality the latest we want to be there is 9.30 or we risk no breakfast. Tempted to suggest we aim to arrive there for 9? Some leeway then and more time to admire the cars. Edited August 13, 2013 by marbleapple (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing changes then to get there for 9, we would need to meet and leave no later than 730am.

supra_ufo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 We could track eachother+rest of the other convoys using the Latify Lite App, you login with a gmail account and when the app is running it will give you a URL of your location which updates every minute. Everyone will have to post their unique URL, to make it less confusing it might be worth selecting certain convoy leaders to only post their URL... That way you can see where people are without calling them, or know when to speed up or slow down to catch up with other people. Thoughts? I need a bloody iphone 5 car charger now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
