Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 PS what's the best route fo us NWers anyway????? M6 then J16 and take the A500 / A50 then we get to donington serivces from the A50, (where we could meet Chris ) where's peterborough? sooo lazy I'll have to check on maporama
Chesterfield Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Wherever there is a convinient "toilet break" stop for you guys, say donnington. I can meet you there.
Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 ok maporama suggests M60-62 then A1 guys from manchetser, and still it's about 252 km! so definitely over 2.5 hrs to ge there! going to get the tomtom and see what it says instead
Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 what do you mean? TomTom suggests A1 too btw. To get to the A50 you need to go about 50 miles of M6 though, and on a friday night it's bound to be busy, ok not as busy as M6 North, but still... been doing it for months now (going north) and on a friday it's always a nightmare!. A50 is relatively empty most of the peak times I've been going on it, just wondering if we make it MUCH longer Miles wise than way
Liam's Z Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 People aiming for 4 o'clockish??? Can you make your sig a bit bigger for me please? Its not quite filling my screen yet It was hard enough gettin it there in the 1st place never mind reducing it
Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 ok looks like we make it shorter by about 2 miles actually going M6 south, A500-50, then some other Aroad to get to the last bit of A1. So i guess we can try that one if everyone agrees. so Lymm services sounds good

M13KYF Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 East of England Showground Peterborough PE2 6XE sure you can multimap the rest. I'm going down saturday Liam. So if you end up going on saturday we could meet up at Lymm Services

Joke Just wanted the same directions in case I needed 2 catch up Sound Mike, I'll let you know either way
Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 directions to where Liam? as I said, M 6 south, then off at J15, take the A500 for a bit then follow the A50 towards uttoxeter, but basically all the way through until the end of the A50, meeting the M1, I would guess we can meet Chris @ Donny services, which are off the roundabout that also connects the A50 to the M1, so it's very on the way.
