J!MMY Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) UPDATE:After a fair bit of chin wagging, seems to be a favour to meet in London somewhere then cruise down to Brighton somewhere. and possibly camp out for the night, or two. Idea been to maybe get it to be a monthly thing and a chance for people to get to know eachother more. A date has yet to be decided but im planning it to be somewhen in the summer.I live in Southampton but if someone in London could find a fairly easy to get to meet up point, that would be great!Email me if you up for it so i have an idea of how many people want to come Edited March 19, 2010 by J!MMY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J!MMY Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Sorry i've not checked this in a while but thanks for all the replies, i'm going to need some help orginising and getting the work out etc. So any help is REALLY welcome! lol. Was thinking, what ever we do, have some camping and BBQ at the end of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J!MMY Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 72 mile trip. no, i only have small gonads! Feeling us all meeting in Brighton somewhere to be honest! Anyone got a preferance between camping, hoteling or even sleeping in the loops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Meet at Crystal Palace, or similar, and all cruise down together. Way more fun that just meeting up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsley-Arosa Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) L 2 BWhat about this two day event with camping, every join in as we go down, with various stop offs along the journey?

BenLAST Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I think thats a bit much to be honest! Especially trying to keep everyone together from Leeds and through central London. I still stand by my comment, a meeting place in central/south London, and through Croydon onto the A23/M23 down to Brighton. This way, everyone can make their way to the meeting point in the own time, and its a nice relaxing (slow) drive down to Brighton. I've done it a few times with the Mini people, and theres no sight like 2000 Minis squeezing their way through Croydon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsley-Arosa Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 ye but to get to brighton's 4 hour's, this sounds like it would be good but i cba to drive down for 4 hours on my self so if it was a long drive down and put a routine together so say leave leeds m1 at 8am arrive at next stop on the m1 at 9am next 10 am so on and so forth so that people can join in the drive at the stop offs closest to them, does that make sense or am I just waffling on?

BenLAST Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thats why you meet in London. Saves loosing everyone on the way down, and has far less arranging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
