Inters - meeting plans ??

[davidhawkins_78]

Hello you lot ...

Right I'm planning on leaving on Friday from the Brighton area at 4ish in the afternoon as that's the earliest we can leave (work and stuff), seeing as we're all trying to meet at the camp site / on route, but all seem to be leaving different times what contingency plans have we got to all meet up at some point?

Seeing as there's sooo many forum members hopefully going, and I'm assuming alot of new faces too, it's too good and opertunity to all get together - after all this is such a friendly forum why leave it at that when there's all of us in one place and plenty of stella to go around!!!

I'm not sure what to suggest - maybe we all post mobile numbers (not very safe I know), or organise a meeting point at a certain time and all go for a beer later in the evening ....

What do people think Open to ideas too ...

Hi David,
Are you planning on going clockwise or acw on the M25? Not sure what time I'll be leaving yet, however I was hoping to leave a bit earlier than 4pm but then knowing me I'll probably end up running late.

David, I think Vix and her crew are travelling up on the Friday from the Crawley area..........you should definately be able to tie in with them if that is the case..........What are your plans Vix?

[davidhawkins_78]

Anti-clockwise ... I'll be joining from the M23, so it's a shorter distance.

Just aquired a 'unofficial' copy of Autoroute 2004 if anyone wants some directions planned for them. Very nice piece of software ....

Rich - if your coming from Guildford then ACW is shorter for you too ... only 12 miles or so though.

[richandhazel]

To be precise I'm coming from a place called Yateley which is a little outside Guildford......just said Guildford as most people know it.

Could still go anti-clockwise I guess, however I'm sure it'll work out longer and there be a toll to pay at the Dartford crossing won't there?

David, can you try checking the route from GU46 6DU going both ways around the M25.........what do you come up with? If there isn't much in it I may do that as at the moment it strikes me that most are travelling from the South/South East of the M25

I'll be crossing at the dartford crossing....

[davidhawkins_78]

From GU46 6DU  it's 146.4 miles clockwise and 152.3 anticlockwise, so other than the toll there's hardly anything in it. About 2hour 40 minutes driving at 'sensible' speeds and will cost about ?20 each way. (Told you it was clever : )

It's Friday afternoon though, so I'm not sure what's better Dartford tunnel traffic or Heathrow .... less speed camera's ACW though !

[richandhazel]

Plus you've got the 40mph roadworks that I have to negotiate everyday at Heathrow

Everything is pointing to going acw

[richandhazel]

By the way......thanks for that David........quite suprised how little there is in it
