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.

Yeah could do, I think we'd probably go under Stoke and join onto the M1 somewhere.
-
well nearer the time we'll have to look at the routes everyone is taking and if we all on the m1 heading north bound then meet at the services. like me and Matt have said will be setting off early to try get to R-tech for 8am ish

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

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/bobbarley/ManchesterLancashireM328BHUKtoHinck.png)
-
think if you take the first route then you'll hit the M6 toll, is there much difference in mileage? if not then better taking the second route.
-
looking at the both of the routes there doesn't seem much in it either route
-
I prefer the second one as the M6 Toll is too expensive!
-
settled then dude, we'll all gatecrash a M1 services and stock up on caffeine
-

not coming through stoke/ stafford?? id be up for meeting first then going down in convoy!
Plan is to cut down from the M6 down the A50 to the M1 to avoid all the average speed check cameras and Toll Road.
-
if you haven't been r-tech, you will all love the perimeter road, or earl shilton bypass if anyone comes from that direction.
-
