SamGTi Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Is there any travelling down to e38??Im from Warrington...Nice to meet up with people and convoy down!Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 There is another thread regarding a northern convoy. Since you will NEED to come down the east side of the country (I.e. M1) you may aswel tag along with that convoy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaRNi! Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 how come you NEED to go down m1? whats up with the m6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamGTi Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yeah thats what i was thinking, dont fancy going across then down!!m6 seems perfectly viable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 M6 FTW! I'll be heading down the M74/M6.I'll be leaving about 1pm. Google Maps says 4 hours 33mins to Warrington so I should be around there at about 6pm ish.GM also say 2hours 19mins from Warrington to N'hampton so that'll hopefully seem me at E38 shortly after 8pm.

nfbr Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 whats up with the m6?The M6 is shĂt, Always filled with traffic and you are statistically 20% more likely to die on the M6 than you are on the M1.The M1 is a much faster motorway, and Since you are going to have to travel East to West anyway - May aswell link up with the people coming down from the North / North East!Also - The main Convoy is going from J15a Services on the M1 Southbound.

Silver! Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) Also - The main Convoy is going from J15a Services on the M1 Southbound....but Sam's travelling on the Sat evening by the sound of it.The M1 may be OK further down but it's s***e rubbish up north (the true north that is! ) Edited August 23, 2008 by Silver!
