Surely you'd be taking the M3 / A3 to the M25 then round to the M1 or the A1 (http://goo.gl/maps/rkDbZ)? Where as the Norwich lot will surely be taking one of the A roads in a vaguely North West direction (Something like this http://goo.gl/maps/YuZPg) to meet the A1 much further up?

In which case meeting someone from Essex near the start of the A1 (or the M1 if you insist) makes much more sense than him riding half of the way on his own or in the wrong direction.

P.S. I suspect neither of the two Tony's will feel the need to travel down to Hampshire to meet you before setting off.

No, it's all subject to nobody wanting to ride unnecessary miles before they do 300 miles north!

I wasn't being funny. Just pointing out that Essex is much nearer to where you'd be passing than where the EAR lot are going to be.

Bit rude in my mind to tell NTECUK to go meet them.

M3 + A34 + M40 (briefly) + A43 + M1 = Job done

no faffing about, probably about 330'ish miles. Don't bother going out of your way down this way to meet people, meet closer up the country otherwise you'll be covering unnecessary miles and you're all going to be ****ed by 300 miles anyway so you'll just want to get there.

M40, M42 and M6. M4 goes to bristol.

Depends on traffic really, the only fickle bit about going towards the M1 is the A43 as its loads of rounderbouts and dual carriageway. M42 and onto M6 has about 10-15 miles of 50mph road works at the minute and for the next few months so it usually backs it up worse than usual. The M6 could possibly be quieter as the traffic thins out after manchester.

either way your not going to want to fanny about going out of your way with that kind of millage.

Where you are that route makes a bit more sense Gav. Couple of miles shorter going Alton -> Newbury and then your route but of the 4 people who have said yes in this thread 3 of them live pretty much on the west side of the M25. I figured they deserved a stop given its only 8 miles longer that way.

If you really want to see some nicer roads I'd wait until you get up north (A68 looks like a decent road to get off the motorway at Darlington), simply because the decent roads down South are going to be there when you get home.
