South Goes North - Who is actually going

[fizzwheel]

I cant remember who is going from down ere....

Do you want to ride up and meet Jelster for a hoon up the motorway in the evening, Or do you fancy a little more of a sedate ride up on Friday afternoon ?

Liz and are planning on leaving at Lunchtime on the friday and riding up in the afternoon. If anybody wants to join us let me know and we can organise a meet up point.

[Scoobs]

Me and MattSV are going. I think the plan for us was to leave mid afternoonish and take a more sedate bimble* up.

*yeah right

[fizzwheel]

If you're at Poole tomorrow Scoobs do you wanna chat about it then and see what we can sort out ?

Aye. No probs.

[mattSV]

As my PA said - I have the whole day off on the Friday so an afternoon *bimble* suits me fine

[fizzwheel]

Liz cant take the day off and she is short of holiday. However she is cranking up her flexi time and reckons she'll be able to be finished by 12:30.

Afternoon bimble sounds good to both of us.

Matt where do you reckon a good point to meet up would be ? Which way are you and Scoobs going.

Hope you had a good holiday

[mattSV]

Yep - great holiday thanks.

Haven't really planned a route apart from A34/M40/A43/M1/A6 - open to suggestions though

Somewhere on the A34 would make sense assuming you will come up the A303 - Tot Hill services at Newbury would be good I think - easier/quicker to get on/off the A34 there than at Chievely, plus we get to blat through the underpass underneath the M4 then at a 'decent' speed.

Scoobs and I are going to met either at mine or at M27 J7 (Sainsburys filling station) I think and then probably go M27/M3/A34 - unless we decide to go cross country on the twisties to A34.

[fizzwheel]

Havent really planned the route either.

Liz lives right on the A303, So somewhere on the A34 sounds perfect. If you reckon Tot Hill is the best place then that sounds a good idea.

I'll have a natter with her and consult yee olde map and see what else might work.

Well as all but 1 of the southern posse have decided not to go, I'm up for an earlier departure and we can meet you at somewhere like Watford Gap.

If there's time I was going to take a route through the Peak District to get up to Skipton for early evening.

Meet at Watford Gap sounds good Steve - 95 miles from Tot Hill so just about right for a fuel stop anyway.

I think Scoobs is back from hols this weekend so we could confirm precise details then - gut feel is that the meet at Watford Gap should be about 1 1/2 hours after we leave Tot Hill (so that Scoobs can keep up).

Round trip going directly to Skipton and back is around 530 miles for me so a few extra miles going via the Peak District won't make too much difference and sounds good. With the Sat/Sun rideouts it looks as though it could be 1000 miles in a weekend!!!
