  • I'm kind of a big deal...
A few of us were discussing at the Awesome RR day at the weekend about arranging a convoy down.  The plan is to meet at Sandbach Service Station.  Then head down the M6, under Stoke on the A50, and meet up with some others on the M1.




Sandbach Services - 7:30am

M6 J16-17

M1 Service Station - 8:30am

Anyone interested?

Yeah could do, I think we'd probably go under Stoke and join onto the M1 somewhere.

For those in the Manchester area there are two possible routes.  Google prefers the first one, but Garmin favours the second.
