CHRIS ELLIS · 27-08-2007, 19:34

Is Chrissie gracing us with her prescence this year?

devonutopia · 27-08-2007, 22:13

What about your mate from 5 doors down Stu - Ken, isn't it? Surely he'd be popping along with you?

CHRIS ELLIS · 28-08-2007, 22:09

Was going to say a time of 8am if thats ok with everybody.Gates open at 9am.But if you wish to do earlier i'm ok with that.

devonutopia · 28-08-2007, 22:12

Oooh, how far from Chieveley is Silverstone? It's only about 15 minutes isn't it - Maybe 25? I would try to get there a little earlier to avoid the queues. I've got there at 7.30 the last 2 times, and it's been pretty much plain sailing right in.

I'd say get THERE for 8am at the latest.

**VRStu** · 28-08-2007, 22:14

8am might be a little late. I suspect we'll use the usual alternative access into Silverstone.

WW_VRS · 28-08-2007, 22:23

Chievely to Silverstone is more than 20 mins surely?

devonutopia · 28-08-2007, 22:37

Leave Chievely at 7.30am at the latest I say - and at a brisk pace.

cheezemonkhai · 28-08-2007, 22:39

I was going to aim to be at silverstone by 7:30 myself.

smstext · 28-08-2007, 22:43

you looking at about 30 mins to get up to the M40 from chieveley. also watch it for hi viz and dark vauxhalls on the bridges and slip roads, they seem to love parking on the bridges and even more on the slip roads running onto the A34

Hedge · 28-08-2007, 23:34

RAC says Total distance: 53.28 miles, 85,8km
Estimated total journey time: 1 h 21 min
... if you're lucky with traffic 1 h 14 min
... if you're unlucky with traffic 1 h 31 min

So allowing for the fact that some of us have slower cars than others I would suggest leaving Chieveley by 7am at the latest.

So meet at 6:45am to leave by 7am. Or meet at 7am to leave for 7:15.

CHRIS ELLIS · 28-08-2007, 23:54

Following Mr Fish you should make that in 20mins

.Keeping to the limits of course.
