Gimme a moment.... Not sure where I'll be coming from. If its from Devon I'll be sure, if its from the north I won't. I'm kind of hoping some plans come together and I won't be coming from Devon.

Jason, even if you were to come up from Devon, this meet up is MILES out of your way!

**VRStu** · 12-08-2006, 12:50

Ok count me in.

I presume it'll be early to avoid the queing fiasco.

I think we'll meet Chris on the M3/A34 Steve, spoke to him when he was over last week.

I will see ya at the services

Makefish · 24-08-2006, 12:16

, got to be a few more for this surely.

devonutopia · 24-08-2006, 13:16

Well, I'm up in the Midlands for Edition 38 the day before so shall be heading south not north east on the morning.

**tfboy** · 25-08-2006, 00:38

I think I decided I would be up for this. Will need to sort myself out with Bas (they charge for parking now at Chievely don't they?)

Also, I think I heard Bengie would be coming along (without trailer!

)

Harry_vRS · 25-08-2006, 01:06

Well seeing as I'll have to stay at a hotel somewhere (I'll be coming down from York) I fancy the idea of staying at the nearest hotel to the services then meeting you guys and following you there.

Would that be ok with everyone?

EDIT: Right, just booked a room at the travelodge at the service station itself with my mate so I will hopefully be joining you in the morning for a pre-meet convoy. Be good if we can get a few more numbers together.

Any idea on the times etc.?

**VRStu** · 25-08-2006, 06:57

We'll be there.

i'll join you on your way past oxford

not bothering to meet there as its at least 30 mins south of me so just wastes an bour of sleeping time

Harry_vRS · 25-08-2006, 23:14

Any idea on what time we will be meeting?

barney_b · 28-08-2006, 22:49

I second getting there early to avoid the queue's the last time that happened I need a pee desperately and I could only find a coke bottle....it was not fun!

Why did I just say that!

bengie · 28-08-2006, 23:11

was the coke finished or did you save it for later?

Baker21 · 29-08-2006, 12:37

Which way you going to be heading to Silverstone from the A34/M4 then?

I can meet you guys along the way as well if you like?

Makefish · 30-08-2006, 16:28

OK chaps, sorry but been on hols so been unaible to answer your questions.

Right then, seeing that there have been problems getting to Trax in the past it would be prudent to get there as early as possible (for those with track time the briefing is 8:00am

).

With that in mind I would suggest meeting at Chievley for 6:15am and be ready to leave by 6:30am SHARP!.

On the way we will pick up Bengie at Oxford at around 6:40am and any one else that would care to join us would be more than welcome.

As for the back way in to Silverstone I havn't got a clue but there has been at least one offer to get us there which would be appreciated.

As the times may put some of you off I'm going to start the list again from scratch but this time I would like you to add not only your name but where you intend to pick up the convoy (hope that makes sense

).

If Bengies with you he knows the way to my house and i can then show you the back way in

Phil

bengie · 30-08-2006, 20:05

is that early enough? just wondering as it suggests being at sign on 10 mins before the breifing so that 7:50, we need to wlak there from the cars so possibly 7:35 that leaves us 25 mins to get to silverstone from oxford which just doesn't seem like enough to me given traffic etc

i would rather be waiting at the gate at the 7am opening time possibly myself which means leaving oxford at about 6:30. remember i will have a trailor so no show boating round country roads

**tfboy** · 30-08-2006, 20:45

I would prefer to leave a bit earlier, just because the later we leave it, the more traffic there will be.
Last year, I queued 2 hours to get in because I arrived just before 9, got in just in time to make the track session!
I reckon if we arrive for 7:30 AT THE LATEST, then comparing to last year, it should be pretty much straight in, especially through the "back door".

I think it would be prudent to leave Chievely at around 6:30, especially if we're going to be stopping to meet up with people along the way.

How does that sound?

Makefish · 30-08-2006, 20:47

OK by me, 6:30pm at Chievley it is then.

piv34uk · 30-08-2006, 20:48

Xavier do you remember where i live?

I will be leaving between 7.30-8
