I'm right near J27 of the M6 - that's 3 different m'ways up to now!
I think Warrington might be a good meeting point for most of the Northern lot.
Chris, you should be able to get there on the M62.
Girth, if you can come across from Rivvy to Standish you can meet me (and maybe Bluepete?) & we can go down the M6 from there. DoubleD will probably be coming down the M6 as well.
Stewie lives in Warrington so would be easy for him too.
